Business ethics raises significant philosophical questions, particularly regarding its methodology and the role of ethical theory in providing moral guidance. It also explores markets, capitalism, economic justice, and the responsibilities of business organizations to their members, owners, and society. This comprehensive volume consists of 24 essays that survey the field of business ethics from a philosophical perspective, addressing major topics related to ethical theory and business practices. Written by accomplished philosophers, the chapters systematically interpret various moral controversies and dilemmas in business and government-business relationships. Readers will encounter critical discussions of key views and topical bibliographies identifying essential works in the field. The collection is curated by Brenkert and Beauchamp, featuring diverse contributors who are leading scholars in business ethics and related areas. The essays are accessible, making the book valuable not only for those focused on philosophical business ethics but also for individuals seeking an alternative methodological approach. Additionally, philosophers not primarily interested in business ethics will find connections to broader philosophical subjects, gaining fresh insights into value theory and political philosophy. The selection of topics is notably comprehensive, enhancing its relevance in the field.
