This book presents a selection of articles with focus on the
theoretical foundations of business ethics, and in particular on
the philosophy of management and on human rights and business. This
implies identifying and discussing conflicts as well as agreement
with regard to the philosophical and other foundations of business
and management. Despite the general interest in corporate social
responsibility and business ethics, the contemporary discussion
rarely touches upon the normative core and philosophical
foundations of business. There is a need to discuss the theoretical
basis of business ethics and of business and human rights. Even
though the actions and activities of business may be discussed from
a moral perspective, not least in the media, the judgments and
opinions relating to business and management often lack deeper
moral reflection and consistency. Partly for this reason, business
ethicists are constantly challenged to provide such moral and
philosophical foundations for business ethics and for business and
human rights, and to communicate them in an understandable manner.
Such a challenge is also of scientific kind. Positions and opinions
in the academic field need to be substantiated by thorough moral
and theoretical reflection to underpin normative approaches. Far
too often, business ethicists may agree on matters, which they
approach from different and sometimes irreconcilable philosophical
standpoints, resulting in superficial agreement but deeper-lying
disagreement. In other cases, it may be of high relevance to
identify philosophical standpoints that despite conflicting
fundamentals may arrive at conclusions acceptable to everyone.
