Caleb Bernacchio - Böcker

Caleb Bernacchio and Robert Couch present an integrative account of business ethics from a neo-Aristotelian perspective. Engaging the Markets Failures Approach in Part I, they introduce the concept of 'eudaimonic efficiency' as a more realistic alternative to Pareto efficiency, before identifying several market virtues that promote human flourishing through mutually beneficial transactions. Turning to the firm in Part II, they identify a number of virtues that foster collaboration, support the development of a novel theory of value creation and associated strategic capabilities, and sustain effective corporate governance, contributing to the flourishing of customers, employees, and other stakeholders. In dialogue with Habermasian approaches to political CSR, Part III develops an account of stakeholder deliberation as an activity that contributes to eudaimonic efficiency by mitigating unjust harms stemming from negative externalities and other market failures. In doing this, they introduce an account of the virtues needed for effective deliberation between stakeholders.

Hegel and MacIntyre: Reason in History brings the work of foremost Anglophone moral philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre into dialogue with G. W. F. Hegel—two rationalist historicists whose affinities and tensions have often been noted, yet never before explored at book-length. The contributions in this collection, by leading Hegel and MacIntyre scholars and critical theorists, examine a wide range of questions about moral life under conditions of late-capitalist modernity. Part I addresses (meta)ethical questions about the foundations of normativity, the scope of justice, the metaphysics of the self, and how ethical concepts acquire determinacy. Part II addresses questions about the politics of small communities, democratic life-forms, and the tensions between modern institutions and virtue-enabling social practices. Part III traces MacIntyre's engagement with Hegel (and Marx) historically, from his British New Left beginning to his final writings. Together, these articles show how philosophy can orient us in the conflicts of modernity. The book will be of interest not only to scholars of MacIntyre and Hegel, but also to all who work in modern moral, social, and political thought, especially Marxism, neo-Aristotelianism, and Thomism.

This book deals with the application of the concept in business and management studies. It provides an overview of key areas of empirical research, and looks at the positioning of practical wisdom within a range of business and management contexts. These include management development and education, leadership, knowledge management, decision making, entrepreneurship, and artificial intelligence.Further more, the contributions provide an opportunity to explore interdisciplinary links, contemporary issues and future directions of study. This includes perspectives from social science, psychology, education and other disciplines. It provides some scope for new conceptual development, for instance by encouraging intersectional discussion with other traditions, and includes critical voices.

This book deals with the development of key traditions of practical wisdom, particularly in Aristotelian virtue ethics, but also extending to other traditions such as Confucianism and Islam. It includes historical perspectives in philosophy, and offers views on the core concept of phronesis or practical wisdom and associated themes such as the idea of ‘good’ in good judgment, decision making in particular contexts, uncertainty, the acquisition of wisdom, and deliberation. It also includes an exploration of more contentious themes, such as reciprocity in the virtues, techne vs praxis, and standards.
