Taylor-ing Ethics: Implications of Charles Taylor’s Work of Retrieval on Moral Foundations Theory
本文借鉴查尔斯·泰勒的检索工作,推进道德基础理论,强调找回构成和赋予个体道德感的意义来源,并应用于商业伦理中的伦理领导、行为伦理和伦理教学。
This article draws from Charles Taylor’s work of retrieval to advance moral foundations theory (MFT). Taylor’s contribution to MFT lies in his insistence that we retrieve the moral sources that have helped constitute, substantiate, and give meaning to individuals’ moral sensibilities. Applying Taylor’s insights to MFT, this article seeks to advance a view of moral foundations that connects them more explicitly to their underlying moral sources. Using this retrieved account of moral foundations, this article then addresses current issues within moral foundations research and theory. Finally, this article suggests ways in which Taylor’s philosophy can contribute to three areas within business ethics: ethical leadership, behavioral ethics, and ethics pedagogy.
