Written by renowned ethicist Larry R. Churchill, this is the first book to explore ethics as the mastery of personal and interactive skills, rather than the use of theories to solve problems. Written for students of ethics preparing for careers in medicine, law, and business, its basic argument is that learning and honing these skills is the fundamental work of ethics. The book also describes important but underemphasized concepts and shows their centrality to ethics, drawing from a wide range of sources including poetry, short stories, and novels, as well as philosophical and religious writings. A lifespan approach and the practical uses of the skills and concepts are emphasized throughout, along with multiple exercises and case studies.
