Handbook of the Philosophical Foundations of Business Ethics

Zusatztext

This second edition of the Handbook of the Philosophical Foundations of Business Ethics expands its scope to include a broader spectrum of philosophical theories and corresponding political perspectives. The handbook thereby aims to encourage meaningful dialogue across political divides and enrich public discourse. Retaining its status as the go-to interdisciplinary reference handbook in the field of business ethics, it includes articles by notable philosophers and economists who examine fundamental concepts, theories, and questions in business ethics, such as basic theoretical foundations of business ethics, including the morality of free markets, philosophical foundations of stakeholder theory, and critical theory. The handbook covers numerous special topics, such as the philosophy of work, the philosophy of management, and theories of inclusivity and diversity. It also covers historical and philosophical positions, as well as a variety of religious and cultural foundations.
