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.

Hope springs eternally...

After one more scandal in the US House of Representatives, it seems that Nancy Pelosi is ready to sign off on the proposal put forth by a bipartisan task force to create an oversight panel of respected outsiders. I hope that this independent office to oversee ethics enforcement will have the power necessary to do a decent job. More in this editorial in the New York Times.
