Reviews

"The ten essays in the present collection focus on different aspects of integrity, honesty, and truth seeking (a section is devoted to each), all of which have become important in the recent political climate. Most of the contributors are philosophers, but other disciplines are represented, including economics, theology, communication studies, and history. Some contributors focus on theory, whereas others address more practical concerns...This is an interesting
and timely collection, and the essays are thoughtful and well written. All the papers were written specially for this volume, and taken together, they offer a pioneering discussion of a somewhat
neglected set of virtues...Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty." -- CHOICE
