This paper attempts a partial, critical look at the construction and use of case studies in ethics education. It argues that the authors and users of case studies are often insufficiently aware of the literary nature of these artefacts: this may lead to some confusion between fiction and reality. Issues of the nature of the genre, the fictional, story-constructing aspect of case studies, the nature of authorship, and the purposes and uses of case studies as "texts" are outlined and discussed. The paper concludes with some critical questions that can be applied to the construction and use of case studies in the light of the foregoing analysis.
本文试图对伦理教育中案例研究的构建与运用进行部分批判性审视。文章认为，案例研究的作者和使用者往往没有充分意识到这些制品的文学性质：这可能导致在虚构与现实之间产生一些混淆。本文概述并讨论了案例研究这一类型的性质问题、其虚构的故事构建方面、作者身份的性质以及案例研究作为“文本”的目的和用途。根据上述分析，文章最后提出了一些可应用于案例研究构建与运用的批判性问题。
