Business Ethics: A Helpful Hybrid in Search of Integrity

摘要: What sort of connection is there between business ethics and philosophy? The answer given here: a weak one, but it may be getting stronger. Comparatively few articles are structurally dependent on mainstream academic philosophy or such sub-specialities thereof as normative ethics, moral theory, social political philosophy. Examining recently published in the Journal Business Ethics that declare some dependence, author finds declarations often constitute only pro forma gesture which could omitted without detriment to paper's content conclusions. He also finds, however, authors do draw solid philosophical work ways establishing ever more meaningful interconnections These cross-disciplinary studies, he concludes, ground-breaking invite creative imitation.
