Hartman, Edwin M.

 
9780195100778: Organizational Ethics and the Good Life

Synopsis

Edwin Hartman argues that ethical priciples should not derive from abstract theory, but from the real world of experience in organizations. He explains how ethical principles derive from what workers learn in their communities (firms), and that an ethical firm is one that creates the good life for the workers who contribute to its mission. His aproach is based on the Aristotelian tradition of refined common sense, from recent work on collective action problems in organizations, and from social contract theory.

Revue de presse

Hartman's book is a significant and welcome addition to the business ethics lexicon. . . . If philosophers are to continue to play a role in the business ethics dialogue, this is the kind of book a philosopher should be writing. It will be a rich and rewarding experience for those who read it and a useful text in a business ethics class. (Business Ethics Quarterly)
