About this blog

  • Thinking Ethics was a project launched in Geneva to foster the debate about ethics. A few friends, fed up with only reading about abuses in the media, decided to hold a forward-looking seminar on five subjects: ethics and performance, ethics and knowledge, ethics and consciousness, ethics and disobedience and ethics in real time. If moral has to do with right and wrong, then ethics is its application in society. We believe that people need to talk about the subject to determine the level of ethics they want. The book Thinking Ethics, a result of the seminar, is to start the discussion. This blog is a contribution to the conversation.

Ethics in Asia

I am still travelling in Asia, currently in Thailand. The country is getting ready for new elections (but  probably not before October)  after the annulment of the last ones in April. And some well respected elder statemen are calling publicly for people to vote for "ethical leadership". I don't know if this is a misuse of the term, or a mainstream fad, or even if the meaning of ethical leadership is culturally different from our understanding, but it is a welcome sign.
