An open letter to the President from Res Publica
I have never had any sort of formal training in ethics,beyond a perfunctory overview in an undergrad survey course in philosophy. I've learned a lot more about the moral lifefrom novels than from ethicists. Themajority of my ethical instincts were probably formed in the contexts of myfamily, my church, and my friends. Inall of this, I am probably like most Americans.
Unless those Americans hold positions at the highest levelsof government, apparently.
