Description: A philosophical ethical perspective of management that focuses on the three great traditions in ethical philosophy - virtue ethics, Kantian ethics, and utilitarianism. It presents Socrates, Aristotle, Plato, Aquinas, Bentham, Mill, Sidgwick, Moore, Hume, Hobbes, Intuitionism, Subjectivism, Moral Egoism, Relativism, Nihilism and modern ethics from Nietzsche, Singer's Animal Rights and Global Ethics, Adorno's virtue ethics, Habermas' communicative ethics, and Kohlberg's stages of moral development.

Thomas Klikauer combines Hegel's S  ittlichkeit' with Habermas'   'Communicative Ethics' to develop a set of ethical principles for management. He concludes with a practical proposal to introduce Company Ethics Councils based on ten rules that reflect Hegelian ethics and Habermas' communicative ethics. --Book Jacket.
