Abstract

Many moral concepts are extremely difficult to define. The concept of integrity, for instance, is one example. Simple integrity -- amoral integrity -- involves the some kind of unity or resiliance to pressure. One way of thinking of moral integrity, which makes the previous idea more concrete, is to define moral integrity as having consistency in one's convictions. I show how this cannot be the correct idea of moral integrity and offer a particular understanding of the idea that fits more readily with actual cases categorized as examples of moral integrity.
