He begins by analyzing the place of responsibility in politics, tackling contemporary questions with an eye toward foreign policy and the workings of bureaucracies. Turning to the ways in which responsibility functions in the professions, Blitz critically examines the link between responsible character and the conditions for success in law, journalism, education, and philanthropy. Paying particular attention to biotechnology, Blitz explores responsibility's future and limits in a field fraught with theoretical and practical controversy. Finally, Blitz places liberalism and responsibility in a philosophical context through a thoughtful discussion of John Locke's philosophy. As the nation hotly debates the role of values and character, Duty Bound is a timely look at the importance of one of America's classic civic virtues.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 214mmItem Length: 137mmItem Width: 16mmItem Weight: 245gAuthor: Mark BlitzGenre: Law & PoliticsRelease Year: 2005 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
