Document Details : Title: A General Theory of Business Ethics? Author(s): VANDEVELDE, Antoon Journal: Ethical Perspectives Volume: 4 Issue: 4 Date: December 1997 Pages: 255-256 DOI: 10.2143/EP.4.4.562987 Abstract : Professor Jeurissen’s paper contains some interesting insights, but is disappointing by its very high level of generality. The relationship between micro, meso and macro levels in business ethics is an elusive topic and I have doubts about the usefulness of stories with such a very comprehensive scope. What is challenging in the field of business ethics — at least in my opinion — is not so much general or methodological stories, but the presentation and treatment of particular issues. General stories in this field mostly yield contestable or even doubtful statements expressing the benevolence of the author rather than the state of the world. |
