Description

This title was first published in 2003. What does it take to be a person of integrity? Could those who commit morally horrendous acts be persons of integrity?

Is personal integrity compatible with the kinds of ambivalence and self-doubt characteristic of fragile selves and ordinary lives?

This text examines the centrality of integrity in relation to a variety of philosophical and psychological concerns that impinge upon the ethical life.

Relating integrity to many standard issues in philosophical and moral psychology - such as self-deception, weakness of will, hypocrisy and relationships - the authors present a comprehensive and accessible study of integrity and its types.

Drawing on contemporary work in moral and philosophical psychology, ethics, theories of the self and feminist thought, this book develops an account of integrity as a fundamental virtue - as something that is central to all our lives.
