Business Ethics
本文呼吁将商业伦理学的两个理论基础——规范哲学与描述社会科学——进行综合,通过文献实例说明忽视任何一方都会导致不完整的研究,主张商业伦理学是一个统一领域,事实与价值不应割裂。
A synthesis of the two theoretical bases of business ethics—normative philosophy and descriptive social science—is called for. Examples from the literature are used to demonstrate that to ignore the descriptive aspects of moral behavior is to risk unreal philosophy, and that to ignore the normative aspects is to risk amoral social science. Business ethics is portrayed as a single unified field, in which fact-value distinctions are inappropriate.
