Anotacija:

     The contributors, who constitute a cross-section of modern professional life, include medical ethicists, lawyers, environmentalists, theologians, urban planners, businessmen, economists, politicians, scientists, sociologists, and moral educators. They discuss the moral concerns currently preoccupying them as professionals, and their reflections touch on a wide range of concerns regarding the ethical quality of our professional lives. Topics covered range from developing moral codes for lawyers and urban planners, through the use of humans as experimental subjects and the morality of man in space, to the rise of feminist ethics, and liberation theology. The writers` professional insights will interest and enlighten all those who care about the state of modern morality.
