Business Ethics as a Postmodern Phenomenon
本文论证商业伦理研究参与了后现代主义的两大核心特征：拒绝宏大叙事（如马克思主义和弗里德曼的资本主义）以及去中心化视角，关注他者、差异和边缘性作为道德决策的有效方式。
This paper contends that work in business ethics participates in two key aspects of the broad philosophical and aesthetic movement known as postmodernism. First, like postmodernists generally, business ethicists reject the “grand narratives” of historical and conceptual justification, especially the narratives embodied in Marxism and Milton Friedman’s vision of unfettered capitalism. Second, both in the methods and content of their work, business ethicists share postmodernism’s “de-centering” of perspective and discovery of “otherness,” “difference” and marginality as valid modes of approach to experience and moral decision.
