PDF-(DOWNLOAD)-Taking Ethics Seriously: Why Ethics Is an Essential Tool for the Modern Workplace

This book develops an intellectual framework for analyzing ethical dilemmas that is both grounded in theory and versatile enough to deal rigorously with realworld issues It sees ethics as a necessary foundation for the social infrastructure that makes modern life possible much as engineering is a foundation for physical infrastructure It is not wedded to any particular ethical philosophy but draws from several traditions to construct a unified and principled approach to ethical reasoning Rather than follow the common academic practice of seeking a reflective equilibrium of moral intuitions and principles it builds on a few bedrock principles of rational thought that serve as criteria for valid argumentation It develops the ideas from the ground up without presupposing any background in ethics or philosophyEpistemologically the book views ethics as parallel to mathematics in that it relies on generally accepted proof techniques to establish results Whereas mathematics rests on such proof paradigms as mathematical induction and proof by contradiction ethics can be seen as relying on proof by applying consistency tests such as generalizability and respect for autonomy Utilitarianism also plays a key role but it is reconceived as a deontological criterion This approach obviously requires that these criteria be formulated more rigorously than is normally the case To accomplish this the book begins with the classical idea that an action is distinguishable from mere behavior by virtue of its having a coherent rationale where coherence requires passing certain consistency tests such as generalizability An action is therefore inseparable from its rationale and generalizability is defined in terms of consistency with the rationale A utilitarian criterion receives a similar treatment with respect to a meansend rationale Respect for autonomy is grounded in a carefully developed action theory that takes into account such concepts as joint autonomy implied consent and the permissibility of interference with unethical behavior It provides an account of responsibility that is both practical and theoretically satisfying and it yields a novel solution of the muchdiscussed trolley car dilemmasThe book is written for a general audience and strives to be as readable and engaging as possible while maintaining rigor It begins by dispelling a raft of misconceptions that trivialize ethics and block its development as an essential tool of modern life such as the notion that ethics is just a matter of opinion without rational foundation After presenting the ethical principles just described along with many examples it provides several chapters that analyze reallife dilemmas many obtained from the authors students and professional workshop participants One cannot understand physics or chemistry without seeing how their principles are applied to real problems and the same is true of ethics These chapters demonstrate that a unified normative theory can deal with a wide range of real cases while achieving a reasonable level of objectivity and rigor.
