Document Details : Title: A Philosophical Approach to Professional Ethics Author(s): DE STEXHE, Guillaume Journal: Ethical Perspectives Volume: 4 Issue: 4 Date: December 1997 Pages: 217-236 DOI: 10.2143/EP.4.4.562983 Abstract : The remarks presented here are an attempt to elaborate a global approach, in a purely formal way, to professional ethics as a philosophical problem. Following a brief analysis of the link between practice and reflection (1), I form a general view of the ethical dimension of existence (2), then analyze some characteristics of modern professional activity (3) and conclude by stressing the necessity for giving shape — especially through institutions — to this ethical movement (4). |
