Summary


This collection
focuses on virtue theory and the ethics of social science research. A moral
philosophy that has been relatively neglected in the domain of research ethics,
virtue ethics has much to offer those who wish to go beyond the difficulties
generated by the biomedical model of research ethics and positively engage with
the ethics of social scientific research. As the chapters contained in this
volume show, the perspective provided by virtue ethics also exhibits a certain
affinity with the emerging discourse regarding research integrity. Contributors
develop various facets of virtue ethics in order to illuminate a range of
issues in the practice and governance of social science, including integrity,
the ethics of ethical review, ethics education, and the notion of phrónÄ“sis
(wisdom).
