Are there suitable readings for students contemplating careers in business, law, or medicine?
Yes. Our core readings are relevant to those fields (consider Tolstoy’s criticism of insensitivity and arrogance in the medical profession in The Death of Ivan Ilyich), but we also include readings like Alan Greenspan’s 1999 Harvard Commencement Address (business ethics) and Patrick L. Schiltz’s classic Vanderbilt Law Review article on “Being a Happy, Healthy, and Ethical Member of an Unhappy, Unhealthy, and Unethical Profession” (legal ethics). There are many other examples. We welcome ideas for new readings, including readings that may be of special interest on your campus.
