| Title | Role virtue ethics and academic ethics: a consideration of academic freedom |
| Authors | Gibbs, P. |
| Abstract | Purpose - This paper is an interweaving of virtues ethics perspectives of the relational and role-grounded with the situational and agent and is explored through the patterns of academic freedom. It uses a notion of Confucian-inspired ‘role virtue ethics’ where obligation, procedure and virtue mix in a relational way with a community of scholarly practice. This counter-intuitive linking of ritual with freedom reveals the importance of the former in defending and maintaining academic freedom; a freedom with rule based obligations. |
