Abstract

Integrity looks dangerous. Passionate willpower, focused devotion and driving self-belief nestle all-too-closely—both conceptually and psychologically—to extremism, narcissism and intolerant hubris. How can integrity skirt such perilous terrain? This question’s significance extends beyond mere definitional matters. It speaks to the perennial ethical question of whether devout, driven devotees can guard themselves from antisocial extremes.
