Quiet reflection on moral truth, however, and the noble sobriety of public administration, have become under-valued virtues. All power to a book like this in redressing that imbalance. -- Matthew Parris, Times columnist and author Meet the better angels of your nature. Find out what 'public service' really means. -- Lord Saatchi In this increasingly uncertain society of post truth in which we live, the lectures and discussions are thought-provoking and timely. They give the opportunity for reflection, particularly, for those who serve the public, in whatever capacity, to know where they stand and having found that place hold to it. Congratulations to the Westminster Abbey Institute. -- Elizabeth Butler-Sloss, House of Lords and former President, Family Division, High Court Author InformationClaire Foster-Gilbert has published four books and numerous articles, and has extensive media experience. She was formerly an expert in medical ethics, environmental ethics, on learning ethics through storytelling, and she created an Institute at St Paul's Cathedral for ethics in finance before founding the Westminster Abbey Institute for ethics in public life. She has been called a 'quiet public intellectual'. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
