The book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on developing thinking about the different kinds of ethical questions that could be posed in relation to accounting. The second part focuses more explicitly on accounting practice, exploring the ethical function of accounting in relation to the market economy, ethics in relation to the accounting profession, and the ethics of the international accounting harmonization project.

This book was released on 2024-08-01 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethics is a fundamental aspect of human life, shaping our decisions, actions, and interactions. As society becomes increasingly complex and interconnected, the need to understand and navigate ethical principles becomes ever more critical. This book, "Foundations and Frontiers in Ethics: A Comprehensive Study," is an attempt to offer a thorough exploration of ethical thought and practice, bridging historical perspectives with contemporary challenges. The journey of ethics begins with ancient philosophical inquiries into the nature of right and wrong, justice, and virtue. From Plato and Aristotle’s foundational theories to Kant and Bentham’s revolutionary ideas, ethical thought has continually evolved, reflecting and shaping human values and societal norms. This evolution underscores the importance of ethics in guiding individual behavior and institutional practices. In the pages that follow, we will delve into classical ethical theories, including virtue ethics, deontology, and utilitarianism, and examine how these frameworks address moral questions. We will explore contemporary ethical perspectives, such as feminist ethics and postmodern ethics, which offer fresh insights into the moral complexities of our time. Moreover, we will apply these theories to pressing real-world issues, including medical ethics, business ethics, environmental ethics, and the ethical dimensions of emerging technologies.

Download or read book On the Im Possibility of Business Ethics written by Minka Woermann and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-11-02 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corporations, and the environments in which they operate, are complex, with changing multiple dimensions, and an inherent capacity to evolve qualitatively. A central premise of this study is that a postmodern reading of ethics represents an expression of, and an engagement with, the ethical complexities that define the business landscape. In particular, the deconstructive philosophy of Jacques Derrida offers a non-trivial reading of a complex notion of ethics, and thereby helps us to develop the skills necessary to critique and intervene in our practices, and to develop robust strategies for living in the absence of prescriptive ethical frameworks. Although a central premise of this study is that substantive ethical claims can only be generated within a given context, the study nevertheless presents readers with a meta-position that illustrates the type of considerations that should inform ethical reflection from a complexity perspective. In order to illustrate the value that this meta-position holds for business ethics, these considerations are explored in terms of the implications that they hold for our understanding of corporate social responsibility, for the practice of responsible management and leadership practices, and for teaching business ethics.
