Integrität

What does it mean to possess integrity? In the late-modern era of capitalism it is becoming increasingly difficult to retain one's `integrity'. Growing social disintegration and alienation mean that personal attributes such as 'incorruptibility', `remaining truthful to oneself', 'honesty', integrity, and 'inviolability' have become increasingly important. To date, there has been no philosophical theory that has managed to comprehensively illuminate and convey these different dimensions of meaning related to the term integrity. With "Integrity", we now have the first German-language monograph on the subject, which opens up a perspective on the threats and damage to integrity that are typical of our time.
