Overcoming the theory/practice opposition in business ethics
Article Abstract:
The practice-immanent theorizing of business ethics deviates from the nonfundamentalist approach and the traditional moral philosophy's dichotomy between theory and practice. The nonfundamentalists believe that construction of theory obviates reflections upon the practice of business ethics. However, the practice-immanent theory is two-fold in its aims. It assists critical reflection and also gains critical perspective on the manner of economic practices.
