Portraits of Socrates, Mencius, Rama and Job, alongside the aspirational 16th-century couple John and Dorothy Kaye, civil rights activist Ella Baker and an anonymous banker, highlight the persisting  sometimes conflicting  features of a life lived with integrity. An introduction identifies and discusses the key questions and themes raised by the case studies, encouraging the reader to determine for themselves the weight and significance of the recurring topics integrity brings up - truth, awkwardness, goodness, and charisma.For anyone looking to learn more about this elusive virtue, \u003ci\u003ePortraits of Integrity\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential collection. It uncovers the manifold \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA wide-ranging, thought-provoking collection that examines the various aspects and challenges of living with integrity. These short essays challenge us to move beyond thinking of integrity simply as unbending devotion to a principle or being true to oneself. * Matthew Pianalto, Professor in the Department of History, Philosophy and Religious Studies, Eastern Kentucky University, USA *\u003cbr\u003eIntegrity is the most personal of virtues and yet the more philosophers try to define it, the more elusive it comes to seem. Here is a work that goes directly to the source: to the very struggle to live with integrity as it is encountered throughout the world and throughout history. From scholars and artists, reformers and journalists, and in great narratives such as the Ramaya?a, the portraits in this book are unfailingly enlightening and engaging.  It is a moving and inspiring collection that unveils both the complexity and necessity of integrity. * Damian Cox, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Bond University, Gold Coast, Australia *\u003cbr\u003eRather than providing yet another philosophical account, the editors are to be commended for offering a rich tapestry of lives and works that touch on the concept of integrity in different ways. Their novel approach is highly recommended! * Christian B. Miller, A. C.
