Exploring Academic Ethics
Ebook
Overview
Academic ethics is the study of moral problems arising in higher education. These may concern the responsibilities of professors or the institutional policies of colleges and universities. In this work, Steven M. Cahn, a pioneer in the field, brings together his essays concerning four provocative issues: curricular controversies, tenure processes, affirmative action, and pedagogic obligations. Written with his characteristic clarity and imaginative examples, Cahn vividly demonstrates how academic life is replete with practices that raise moral concerns.
No philosopher has done more than Steven Cahn to sensitize academicians to the moral dimensions of their profession—the gap between what they do and what they ought to be doing. In his hallmark crisp and lucid prose, Cahn has written a wide-ranging book full of wisdom and insight.
