Fiduciary Ethics: Explorations of Entrusted Care

A Special Issue of _Philosophy in the Contemporary World_


Submissions are invited for a special issue of _Philosophy in the
Contemporary World_ to be published in the Fall of 2002. The journal is
a fully refereed, indexed, and copyrighted journal published by the
Society for Philosophy in the Contemporary World.

We welcome creative and insightful papers on any ethical concept or
problem relating to the role of the fiduciary -- one who can be or is
trusted with the care of others. Although philosophers have not given
adequate attention to fiduciary ethics as an integral subdiscipline of
ethics, it occupies a 'middle ground' between such subjects as the
ethics of care and professional ethics. Sample subjects for
investigation include but are not limited to: altruism, betrayal,
charity, compassion, conscience, empathy, filial duty, forbearance,
forgiveness, generosity, gift
relationships, guidance, hope, loyalty, mentoring, negligence, parental
duty, selfishness, stewardship, sympathy, tolerance, treachery, treason,
and trust.

Submission Deadlines:

Abstracts due March 15 2002

Completed papers due July 15 2002

5. For style, see the journal; Kate L. Turabian, _A Manual for Writers_,
