In Professionals' Ethos and Education for Responsibility, Alfred Weinberger, Horst Biedermann, Jean-Luc Patry and Sieglinde Weyringer offer insights into different concepts and applications of professionals' ethos focusing on teachers' ethos. Ethos refers to the responsibility of a professional, and it is considered a key element of a professional's work.

This book intends to explore the variety of meanings, with authors in this volume drawing from established concepts of ethos and empirical research to push the field forward.
