Do as I Say, Not as I Do
16th June 2009
According to a paper written by two philosophy professors, Eric Schwitzgebel of the University of California at Riverside and Joshua Rust of Stetson University, a college professorship in ethics does not necessary translate into moral behavior. At least, that’s what the people who work with ethicists say.
I’ve always that that being an “ethicist” would be a really cool job. I mean, you get to tell other people what they ought to do. And you get paid for it. And it pays better than being a government bureaucrat, which is the other position with the same job description.
