"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
