From presidential candidates to crusading journalists to the lords of collegiate sports, everybody promises to deliver integrity, yet all too often, the promises go unfulfilled. <P> Stephen Carter examines why the virtue of integrity holds such sway over the American political imagination. By weaving together insights from philosophy, theology, history and law, along with examples drawn from current events and a dose of personal experience, Carter offers a vision of integrity that has implications for everything from marriage and politics to professional football. He discusses the difficulties involved in trying to legislate integrity as well as the possibilities for teaching it. <P> As the <I>Cleveland Plain Dealer </I>said, "In a measured and sensible voice, Carter attempts to document some of the paradoxes and pathologies that result from pervasive ethical realism... If the modern drift into relativism has left us in a cultural and political morass, Carter suggests that the assumption of personal integrity is the way out." <P> 2213583 1996 Integrity total:44|5:10|4:17|3:9|2:6|1:2| 44 159 71 6 4 1 false false Mon Mar 04 00:00:00 -0800 2002 Wed Jul 02 14:21:27 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 02 14:24:06 -0700 2008
