With this chapter, we highlight contributing authors’ insights into what it means to educate the deliberate professional. We concisely discuss the authors’ common understanding that there is a need to reconcile critique (thinking), participation (doing) and moral responsibility (relating to others) in professional practice and professional education. We also review the book’s main threads: the critique of the current context within which professional education is delivered at university and professional practice is carried out in workplaces; and the alternative view of a professional practice and professional education that addresses and redresses the imbalance between technical know-how, moral stance and collective action. We conclude by considering the challenges and possibilities that lie ahead in further implementing this concept, especially at organisational and societal levels.
