The principle of excellence : a framework for social ethics / Nimi Wariboko. - Lanham, Md. : Lexington Books, ©2009. - 1 online resource (xi, 239 pages)
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.
