Rebuttal to a Subjectivist Critique of an Objectivist Approach to Integrity in Organizations
回应Barry和Stephens对Becker关于组织诚信的客观主义方法的批评，指出其批评基于权威谬误、对利他主义和利己主义的误解，以及未能区分经济权力和社会权力，论证客观主义视角的合理性和优越性。
In their critique of Becker's article on integrity in organizations, Barry and Stephens argue that the Objectivist approach is illegitimate, inferior to subjectivist perspectives of business ethics, and unmindful of the role of social power in organizations. We respond to these criticisms by demonstrating that Barry and Stephens' critique rests upon the fallacious argument from authority, a misunderstanding of altruism and egoism, and a failure to distinguish between economic and social power. In so doing, we explain why the Objectivist perspective is valid and why it is superior to subjective, relativistic misconceptions of integrity.
