Description

People professions such as social work, teaching, nursing, ministry, and counselling are fundamentally ethical and moral enterprises. This book explores the complex nature of professional judgement, moving beyond simple technical rationality or strict obedience to occupational procedures. Recent theorizing suggests that effective deliberation in these fields requires more than just following prescriptions. Instead, it demands a specific mode of practical reflection, often referred to as professional wisdom or Aristotle's phronesis. This text examines how practitioners can develop the necessary ethical reflection to handle the unique challenges found in human-centered professions. Ideal for students and practitioners in the social and medical sciences, this Routledge publication provides a deep look into the necessity of practical wisdom for making sound professional decisions in high-stakes environments.
