| Summary: | This volume examines general ethical principles and controversies in the social sciences by looking specifically at the recent three-year revision process to the American Anthropological Association's code of ethics. The book's contributors were members of the task force that undertook that revision and thus have first-hand knowledge of the debates, compromises, and areas of consensus involved in shaping any organization's ethical vision. The book<br> <br> -reflects the broad diversity of opinion, approach, and practice within anthropology and the social sciences;<br> <br> -develops ethical principles that reflect core values rather than the latest ethical controversies;<br> <br> -crafts clear, broad statements, increasing the likelihood that the ethical code will be a meaningful part of the daily discourse of practicing anthropologists;<br> <br> -develops the ethical code as a living document, or a process of experience and debate, subject to future revision and amplification;<br> <br> -provides explanation through internet links and other resources, ensuring that the finished product be relevant and vibrant. |
