In Zeiten der Globalisierung wichtiger denn je: eine Debatte über wirtschaftsethische Standards. Von Aristoteles bis zur experimentellen Ökonomik bietet das Handbuch einen umfassenden Überblick über die philosophischen und theoriegeschichtlichen Hintergründe der Wirtschafts- und Unternehmensethik. Es stellt die zentralen Probleme und Ansätze vor und beleuchtet mögliche Instrumente wie Ethikkodizes, Nachhaltigkeitsberichterstattung und Sozialstandards. Grundlegende Begriffe erschließt der Schlussteil des Bandes.

Philosophy is the attempt to answer particular questions using transparent and convincing argument. Fundamental philosophical questions are questions about our understanding of the world in general and our place in it. As a matter of principle, these questions can only be answered through controversy. The series Basic Topics in Philosophy aims to provide a space for the discussion of such fundamental philosophical questions. Instead of providing a comprehensive introductory presentation, each volume will take issue with selected historical positions in order to analyse the particular problem and discuss possible solutions. At the same time, the authors will set their own marks and take up positions, so that the result will not be merely a view of the history of philosophy, but also a systematic contribution to the problem under discussion. The volumes in the series are intended equally for students of philosophy and other subjects and for professional philosophers. In addition, the series is aimed at all those readers with an interest in fundamental questions of philosophy.
