Cognitive Pathology and Moral Judgment in Managers
本文探讨认知心理学实验的道德意义,提出实验结果可解释为实验对象持有道义论承诺,而非心理学家认为的非理性后果论,并据此为管理者制定企业责任政策提供建议。
We examine the moral and managerial significance of some empirical studies in cognitive psychology. We suggest that these results may plausibly be interpreted as expressing deontological commitments of experimental subjects, even though psychologists who discuss the results seem to suppose that they show that people are irrational consequentialists. We argue that the plausibility of our interpretation suggests how managers who wish to take seriously entrenched social views on morality might best craft corporate policy on corporate responsibility, and we suggest that the form of argument we employ may be regarded as a kind of appeal to reflective equilibrium.
