| Sumario: | The writer considers professional ethics from the perspective of Søren Kierkegaard's pseudonymously written classic The Concept of Anxiety. He contends that it is difficult to distinguish ethics experts from poseurs, and he argues that would-be ethicists should be rebuffed as much for the mood they project as for the improper development of their thought. Furthermore, he notes that Kierkegaard might caution ethical counselors to be wary of the possibility that their understanding of ethics could easily be changed and misrepresented by the marketing mood in which they present their understanding as a product. |
