Bell, Derrick ETHICAL AMBITION Living a Life of Meaning and Worth
Bloomsbury USA 2002 1582342059 / 9781582342054 Hardcover Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket
Hc/DJ - near fine/VG. Hardcover is clean and unmarked, some bumping to spine ends. Dustjacket has light wear to edges and some scuffing and a little ink rubbing on front. Nice clean copy. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 176 pages; "Bell, law professor and former civil rights lawyer, has repeatedly shown himself a model of principle and conscience. The first black tenured professor in the Harvard Law School, he endured personal sacrifice and criticism after taking a voluntary unpaid leave of absence to protest the school's failure to secure a woman of color in a tenured-track position. Bell provides substantial insight into his struggle to meet what he calls an ethical standard. He admits that an obsession with ambition, even in an altruistic sense, may violate the ethical obligations owed to family. He explores the conflicts of issues in his own religious traditions that he negotiates to reach a higher spiritual awareness often lost in traditional religions. Bell also cites examples of widely known ethically principled individuals--W. E. B. DuBois and Martin L. King Jr. , among others--who often strove for higher ethical standards, alone and at great personal cost. His book offers great insight into how an individual seeks to live by the highest of personal standards and ideals. " [370-noto]
