From presidential candidates to crusading journalists to the lords of collegiate sports, everybody promises to deliver integrity, yet all too often, the promises go unfulfilled. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Stephen Carter examines why the virtue of integrity holds such sway over the American political imagination. By weaving together insights from philosophy, theology, history and law, along with examples drawn from current events and a dose of personal experience, Carter offers a vision of integrity that has implications for everything from marriage and politics to professional football. He discusses the difficulties involved in trying to legislate integrity as well as the possibilities for teaching it. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e As the \u003cem\u003eCleveland Plain Dealer \u003c\/em\u003esaid, \"In a measured and sensible voice, Carter attempts to document some of the paradoxes and pathologies that result from pervasive ethical realism...
