LETTER

DICKENS RESPONDS

Bernard M. Dickens, PhD, LLD, FRSC

Correspondence: Requests for reprints should be sent to Bernard M. Dickens, PhD, LLD, FRSC, Faculty of Law, University of Toronto, 84 Queen’s Park Crescent, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5S 2C5 (e-mail: bernard.dickens{at}utoronto.ca).

Stadtländer makes a sound point—that ethical codes, while necessary, are not necessarily sufficient, because their application often requires judgment. The dilemma is usually not between ethical and unethical conduct, but between different ways of acting ethically, for instance by giving priority to one principle or level of approach (individual or collective) over another. Reflection on personal outcome preferences allows progress toward the goal urged by classical Greek philosophers, to "know thyself."
