Keywords: Ethics; morals; professional integrity; corruption; education; justice;
Summary/Abstract: Starting from the principle according to which ethics itself is a somewhat paradoxical “science”, an unusual mixture of contingency and universality, aiming at wisdom (phrónesis) rather than science itself (Pleșu 1994, 10), the present approach represents an action nyptic to signal, like axiology, the relations of mutual hostility between the ethical-integrity axiom and the phenomenon of corruption. We believe that it is inescapably necessary to draw attention to the facts of general inadvertence of immoral conduct towards ethical attitudes and professional integrity related to all fields of activity, but especially to the fields of education and justice.
