Business Ethics A Philosophical Introduction


Free Download Business Ethics: A Philosophical Introduction
English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031379314 | 194 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 5.3 MB
This textbook not only provides the student with a solid foundation in ethics, but introduces students to the most important themes relevant to business today. Issues such as human rights violation down in the supply chain, the effect business has on nature and the environment, and inclusiveness are each discussed in separate chapters, which discuss their importance, but also their challenges. While there are numerous business ethics textbooks, few take a philosophical approach to business ethics. However, without introducing philosophical ethics, discussions about business ethics are bound to get stuck in fallacies and paradoxes. This textbook therefore fills an important societal gap by providing an introduction to profound philosophical issues in clear language at a philosophically high, but accessible level.

Rethinking Virtue Ethics


Free Download Michael Winter, "Rethinking Virtue Ethics"
English | 2012 | pages: 191 | ISBN: 9400737025, 9400721927 | PDF | 1,3 mb
Rethinking Virtue Ethics offers a model of Aristotelian virtue ethics based on a deductive paradigm. This book argues that, contrary to what many contemporary thinkers are inclined to believe, Aristotelian virtue ethics is consistent with at least some action-guiding moral principles being true unconditionally, and that a justification for general moral principles can be grounded in fundamental concepts within Aristotle’s theory. An analysis of ethical propositions that hold for the most part is proposed that fits well within the deductive paradigm developed.

Material Ethics of Value Max Scheler and Nicolai Hartmann


Free Download E. Kelly, "Material Ethics of Value: Max Scheler and Nicolai Hartmann"
English | 2011 | pages: 267 | ISBN: 9400737661, 9400718446 | PDF | 1,3 mb
Max Scheler and Nicolai Hartmann developed ethics upon a phenomenological basis. This volume demonstrates that their contributions to a material ethics of value are complementary: by supplementing the work of one with that of the other, we obtain a comprehensive and defensible axiological and moral theory. By "phenomenology," we refer to an intuitive procedure that attempts to describe thematically the insights into essences, or the meaning-elements of judgments, that underlie and make possible our conscious awareness of a world and the evaluative judgments we make of the objects and persons we encounter in the world.

The Oxford Handbook of Ethics and Art

by Harold, James;

English | 2023 | ISBN: 0197539793 | 793 pages | True PDF | 91.39 MB
This volume is about how and whether art can be morally bad (or morally good). Politicians, media pundits, and others frequently complain that particular works of art are morally dangerous, or, sometimes, that particular works are morally edifying (the "great works" of literature, for example). But little attention is often given to the question of what makes art morally good in the first place. This comprehensive volume of forty-five new essays explores a wide variety of historical and theoretical perspectives, looking at different art forms and different problems.
