About the Class:

This presentation will cover:

  • Some of the traditional ethical systems used in contemporary Business Ethics as it is commonly taught in the United States
  • Historically recognized problems with traditional ethical systems
  • Contemporary problems faced by both individuals and businesses as they seek new directions in ethics
  • How Dinesh D'Souza describes some contemporary spiritual/moral dilemmas in his book The Virtue of Prosperity
  • Some techniques for addressing both traditional and contemporary problems

All of this is with an eye toward developing a Global Business Ethics suitable to today's complex world. The instructor has a Ph.D. in philosophy and has taught undergraduate Business Ethics several times. His approach is academic, but information and ideas presented are intended for the general public. Topics include some references to Kant, Utilitarianism, Aristotle, Locke, and contemporary writers. Those who plan on attending are encouraged to participate in the Global Ethics Survey at Global Ethics Quiz prior to attending the session.
