White, Gilligan, and the Voices of Business Ethics
本文评论了Thomas I. White关于商业伦理与Carol Gilligan“两种声音”的论文,指出其需要进一步论证男性对困境的反应、关怀伦理的结论依据以及关怀伦理可能产生相反结果的问题。
This commentary finds much to like about the work of Professor Thomas I. White, “Business, Ethics, and Carol Gilligan's ‘Two Voices.” (Vol. 2, No. 1, January 1992) At the same time it suggests further work is needed on the following points: (1) White must consider how males respond to dilemmas if he hopes to articulate a difference between male and female methods of responding; (2) White must support his conclusion that the “ethics of care” is the ethic most likely to produce the results that he assumes to be true, and further explain why he thinks that the studies he chooses support the “ethics of care,” and (3) White must explain why the “ethics of care” is not just as likely to produce a result opposite to that found by researchers.
