The ethics of institutions is an important aspect of integral human development (IHD) since institutions play a major role in social change processes. In his landmark book on the common good, David Hollenbach identified institutions as drivers of change. The United States Sustainable Development Goals include a commitment (goal 16) to building strong institutions. The lecture will explore the intersection between IHD and the ethics of institutions: what does it mean to apply IHD to the design of institutional arrangements and practices? What does it mean to build dignity-sensitive institutions? What is the relevance of IHD for an ethics of institutions?
