Many of my readers have read the blog Integrity has no need of rules. Albert Camus put forward the idea that integrity could trump morality. In other words, the individual can build a set of principles that are unique to that individual and that in so doing there is an integrity distinct from morality.
This has been hard to debate philosophically. How does integrity differ from a set of moral choices? Can the conflict between morality and integrity be resolved?
It seems hard to fit integrity into Ethics and Morality. If one tries to establish universal truths but admits exceptions, you get a watered-down truth. If we interpret integrity as it applies to data, the emphasis is on the lack of corruption.
Perhaps a lack of corruption could help us understand personal integrity, but how does it differ from ethical choices adhering to a moral code?
