Book Two / The Profession
DUTIES OF CANDOR
Professional Ethics in an Industry Built to Argue Around the Truth
The ability to defend a position is not the same as the integrity to examine it.
Duties of Candor confronts the divide between professional ethics and professional maneuvering — between addressing the substance of a question and producing another argument that leaves it unanswered.
Truth. Facts. Honesty. Accountability. Justice.
The words are familiar. This book asks what remains of them when the performance of professionalism becomes more important than the obligations behind it.
When the truth becomes inconvenient, what does professional responsibility actually require?
