Abstract:
The article by Potter and Rif S. El-Mallakh (2019) read empathically, invokes a sense of fulfilment in their experiences, serving as inspiration for others to learn and practice ethics better. It describes their growth that has culminated to this sense of fulfilment and inspirational dignity. Crucial for this desirable growth has been, I want to highlight, their good investment in virtuous relationships and diligent processes. I also highlight from their article a potential conceptual
restriction to growing in our learning and practicing of ethics. That is, the restriction that occurs when blinded by too narrow a view (applying
Wittgenstein, 1958) on what ethics is about or where its emphasis is supposed to be.
