Editorial Reviews
Review
“[H]ighly recommended for any professional school library, especially those in law.”–Choice
“...Ethics and Excuses is a thought provoking and stimulating look into a basic, yet overlooked, reality of our day-to-day lives.”–Personnel Psychology

Book Description
Rarely discussed in ethics courses is the topic of excuses. McDowell argues convincingly that not only do excuses offer the most illuminating way to understand the true nature of ethical problems, they also suggest ways of solving them. When professionals are accused of acting unethically, when are their excuses valid and when are they not? Professionals know what's ethical, but social and economic pressures create conflicts in compliance. McDowell explores what they are--readably, persuasively, sympathetically, without didacticism. Professionals in all fields, struggling to be both successful and ethical, will find the book challenging, provocative, yet reassuring. It will also be an important resource in graduate courses in business and professional ethics.
