This book reveals Marx's moral philosophy and analyzes its nature. The author shows that there is an underlying system of ethics which runs the length and breadth of Marx's thought. The book begins by discussing the methodological side of Marx's ethics showing how Marx's criticism of conventional morality and his views on historical materialism, determinism and ideology are compatible with having an ideological system of his own. In the light of contemporary social, moral and political philosophy the insights and defects of Marx's major ethical themes are discussed.

The debate over political freedom is a central contemporary
concern, not only in the West, but also in Eastern Europe and
around the world. "Political Freedom" begins with an examination of
the three important accounts that inform this debate: the
conservative view found in the work of Edmund Burke and Michael
Oakeshott; the liberal account of John Locke, J.S. Mill and Isaiah
Berlin; and the radical tradition that originated with Karl Marx.
This book examines the underlying theoretical issues concerning the
nature of political freedom. Arguing that most previous discussions
of such freedom have been too narrowly focused, it explores both
conservativism from Edmund Burke to its present resurgence, the
radical tradition of Karl Marx, as well as the orthodox liberal
model of freedom of John Locke, John Stuart Mill and Isaiah Berlin.
Political Freedom argues that these three accounts of political
freedom - conservative, liberal and radical - all have internal
weaknesses which render them unsatisfactory.
Business ethics raises many important philosophical issues. A first
set of issues concerns the methodology of business ethics. What is
the role of ethical theory in business ethics? To what extent, if
at all, can thinking in business ethics be enhanced by philosophy,
so as to provide real moral guidance? Another set of issues
involves questions regarding markets, capitalism, and economic
justice. There are related concerns about the nature of business
organizations and the responsibilities they have to their members,
owners, and society.
The ethical and legal scandals at Enron, WorldCom, Tyco and many other businesses in the United States, Europe and Asia have shaken people's confidence in business. Corporate Integrity and Accountability seeks to address questions of corporate integrity as they arise for financial reporting, executive compensation, globalization, and business ethics itself. In so doing it asks the following questions: What is the current meaning of corporate integrity? How should we go about analyzing and responding to unethical and corrupt behavior both at home and abroad? What measures can be undertaken by corporations within their own walls to address these problems? What groups and perspectives need to be taken into account with regard to CEO compensation? These are a few of the many topics that the chapters in this book discuss under the heading of corporate integrity and accountability. The chapters are the product of leading business ethicists-both academic and practitioner-in the U.S. and Europe, resulting in the application of different methodologies, sources, and forms of argument. This gives the reader a sense not only of the complexity of some of the ethical issues business faces, but also the richness of the various resources that are available to address these issues. Corporate Integrity and Accountability is ideally suited as a text for courses in the following: business ethics, corporate social responsibility, current ethical issues in business, and corporate citizenship.
