Summary: | Business Ethics: A Kantian Perspective By Norman E. Bowie Cambridge University Press, New York, NY 10006, USA, 2017, 2nd Edition, Pages: 221, Price: USD 47.99 ISBN 9781107120907 (hardback) ISBN 9781107543959 (paperback) BRIEF BACKGROUND OF THE BOOK In his work "Business Ethics: A Kantian Perspective," Norman E. Bowie examines the relationship between ethics and business from Kant's moral perspective. According to the author's perspective, while the Golden Rule is a worthy foundation for discussing business ethics, its objective should be changed. The following reflections concern the correlation between profitability and ethical considerations within the realm of commerce. * Corporate entities are obligated to conduct themselves ethically, not solely based on moral values, but also due to the potential benefits it can yield for their business activities. * Corporate adoption of ethical practices by corporations can foster trust among their customers and employees, potentially resulting in enhanced profitability and sustained prosperity. * The ethical significance of an action cannot be diminished by its overdetermination, provided that the ethical intention was a substantial factor in the decision-making process. |
