Rethinking the Responsibility of International Corporations
本文批评了Tom Donaldson关于国际企业伦理的语言理论，认为他未能证明其偏好的三种理论（避免伤害、权利/义务、社会契约规则）比被其否定的理论（美德、自我掌控、福利最大化）更适合处理企业责任问题，并指出了其分析的四个主要缺陷。
In "The language of International Corporate Ethics," Tom Donaldson largues that ethical languages focusing on avoidance of harm to human beings; on rights/duties: and on rules spelled out in a social contract are better for characterizing international corporate responsibility than languages promoting virtue; the mastering of the self; or the maximization of human welfare. While some of what Donaldson says about the strengths and weaknesses of individual theories is quite plausible and relatively noncontroversial, Donaldson does not, in my judgment, establish that the three theories he favors are indeed better equipped to cope with problems of corporate responsibility than the three he dismisses. I will focus upon four major problems with his analysis.
