II: Social-ethical framework -- A framework for social ethics -- Social practice as boundary of possibilities -- Excellence and economic development. 330 $aThis 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. 606 $aExcellence 606 $aSocial ethics 615 0$aExcellence. 615 0$aSocial ethics. 676 $a179/.9 700 $aWariboko$b Nimi$f1962-$01092960 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791491503321 996 $aThe principle of excellence$93838967 997 $aUNINA
