Abstract

One of the major challenges of ethical reasoning is being able to sort through the collection of ethical principles we have gathered over a lifetime to decide which ones to call our own. In learning to make clear ethical choices, we all have to examine what we embrace and reject. We must comb through our vast inventory of philosophical, religious, cultural, and social beliefs. Which touchstones will we rely on to create principles in our personal ethical code? This chapter is excerpted from ‘Ethics for the Real World: Creating a Personal Code to Guide Decisions in Work and Life'.
