Traversing the Inferno
本文批评商业伦理学科过度关注道德法则的阐述与应用,而忽视邪恶对灵魂的影响,通过但丁《地狱篇》中欺诈类型及其心理效应,探讨邪恶如何使人性减损。
The discipline of business ethics traditionally has paid too much attention to articulating and applying the moral law and has devoted too little thinking to the nature and consequences of evil for our souls. For purposes of this discussion, I shall limit myself to Dante’s vision of evil as a diminution of human being. On his journey through hell, Dante encounters the shades—people who, through their own actions, have rendered themselves less than fully human. This paper concentrates especially on the various types of fraud and their psychic effects as portrayed by Dante in his book Inferno.
