People First!: Professional and Business Ethics without Ethics

Autor E. R. Klein
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 feb 2003
Through an innovative technique of making the process of the text more important than its thesis, Klein offers the reader the opportunity to take seriously the fact that it is time we try a new approach to the teaching and fostering of professional and business ethics, i.e., an approach that removes the pedantic minutia that is endemic to its scholarly study, allowing students and managers alike a chance to not only learn about ethics, but actually become ethicists themselves. People First!, with its pedagogical focus and eminently readable style, "walks" the reader (regardless of philosophical acumen) through specific hallmark arguments to one simple, fundamental, obvious, intuitive, and universal imperative: Put people first! Klein hopes that the process that is People First will be self-justifying, enabling not only the creation of more ethical business and professional leadership, but a new age of teaching professional and business ethics that will lead to generations of ethical practitioners in the future.
