{"product_id":"professional-ethics-power-and-paradox-9780687343256","title":"Professional Ethics: Power and Paradox","description":"Karen Lebacqz here offers a logical yet eminently human framework for ethical decision making. Quoting and clarifying the thoughts of the field's top authorities, Dr. Lebacqz summarizes the issues and questions that have, until now, served as the boundaries of debate. Then she moves beyond that; formulating new questions, demonstrating why the answers to those questions are critical, laying the groundwork for what eventually emerges--a new way of perceiving and resolving complex ethical questions. \u003ci\u003eProfessional Ethics: Power and Paradox \u003c\/i\u003eutilizes the praxis method of analysis. An actual ethical dilemma is offered, then treated theoretically throughout the text in order to demonstrate how a professional decision involving the dilemma might be reached. Central to the ethical framework offered here is the focus on three steps toward a decision: \u003ci\u003eaction \u003c\/i\u003e(what are the available alternatives?); \u003ci\u003echaracter \u003c\/i\u003e(what does it mean to be a professional in relation to the question?); and \u003ci\u003estructure\u003c\/i\u003e (how do structures limit or modify the alternatives?). The resolution of these and related, subordinate questions, Dr. Lebacqz asserts, is the foundation of a new framework for ethical decision making.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karen Lebacqz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Abingdon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1985\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.48h x 5.64w x 0.46d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780687343256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eLebacqz, Karen:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - 2001 KAREN LEBACQZ is Professor of Theological Ethics at Pacific School of Religion, Berkeley, California.
