Lexington Booksc20091 online resource (253 p.)Description based upon print version of record.0-7391-3638-0 Includes bibliographical references and index.Pt. I: What is excellence? -- The making of a new meaning of excellence -- Exegeting excellence -- The core features of excellence -- New being : participation and imitation-- Justice, love, and hope -- Pt. II: Social-ethical framework -- A framework for social ethics -- Social practice as boundary of possibilities -- Excellence and economic development.This book is a bold attempt to reconceptualize excellence. It is no longer the virtue of doing something well or the mean of two extremes, but a clearing which allows humans to manifest their potentialities and creatively resist obstacles. The concept of excellence is emancipated from the excessive concern with order and good citizenry to become a libratory principle for interrogating all social institutions in the name of a better future.ExcellenceSocial ethicsExcellence.Social ethics.179/.9Wariboko Nimi1962-1092960MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910807212803321The principle of excellence3984155UNINA
