Psychologists Carroll and Shaw provide an overview of the most influential ideas in ethical thinking. They develop a notion called "ethical maturity" and apply it in organizational and otherwise professional contexts. The book is divided into three parts. The first is historical and looks at the philosophy and science of ethics, introducing the idea of ethical maturity. The second section focuses on ethical maturity as a comprehensive concept, outlining its six main features: ethical sensitivity and mindfulness, ethical decision making, implementing ethical decisions, accountability and moral defense, sustainability and peace, and learning from experience. The last part surveys ethical challenges in different organizational contexts and research sectors in terms of ethical maturity. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
