Now thoroughly revised and updated, this book seeks to make explorations in ethical musings from which the concepts of ‘integrity’ and ‘aptitudinal dispositions’ can be sorted out. It discusses issues in moral philosophy and civil service values, which devolve higher and heavier responsibilities on career public servants in a modernizing democracy of India’s size and diversities.The aptitudes of civil servants and the foundational values of public service in India have been examined in depth in the light of new researches in the fields of ‘neurology’ and ‘emotional intelligence’. The ethical concerns, dilemmas and probity issues in governance have been examined in the context of declining moral values, accountability ethics and galloping corruption in Indian public administration.The chapter on ‘Moral Philosophies and Philosophers’ has been entirely rewritten. Further, a new chapter on ‘Corporate Social Responsibility and Global Transparency: The Ethical Issues’ has been additionally incorporated to highlight the ethical social responsibility of business and ethical interactions in global politics.A minimum and a highly rewarding reading for civil service aspirants, it provokes them to think and debate the ethical issues woven around the emerging ethos of transparency, new codes of conduct and work culture of service delivery in government offices and the corporate world of tomorrow. Exhaustive section on Case Studies will help readers relate theory to practical understanding of the subject. The book will also enable the readers to identify right attitudes and discover a problem-solving approach in dealing with conflicts in society.
