The Internal Morality of Contracting: Advancing the Contractualist Endeavor in Business Ethics
针对整合社会契约理论被批评无法产生实质性行动指导规范的问题,提出通过探索契约的内在道德来推进契约主义商业伦理,无需依赖外部前提即可产生规范。
Integrative social contracts theory is arguably the most promising theory of business ethics to date, but often criticized for its inability to produce substantive, action-guiding norms. Rather than importing moral substance from outside the contractualist framework, or abandoning contractualist business ethics (CBE) altogether, we seek to advance CBE by exploring the internal morality of contracting. We demonstrate that substantive norms for guiding and constraining business conduct can be produced without relying on premises from outside the contractualist framework.
