Working Virtues | The Evergreen State College

Working Virtues

Summer 2017 and Summer 2017 quarters (First Session)

Taught by

Employees sometimes face situations that suggest a conflict between a being a good employee and being a good person.  We can help to recognize and resolve such conflicts, as well as to live well generally, by cultivating virtues. But what virtues do we need?  We will study some theories of virtue so as to help us to understand and clarify ethical issues in the workplace, and we will put these to work through considering real-life situations from people’s working lives.
