Moral sanctuary in business: A comment on the possibility
Journal of Business Ethics · 1986 · Volume 5 · Issue 3
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the possibility of a moral sanctuary existing in the field of business. It seeks to add to the discussion begun by Professors Konrad and Roberts in recent studies. After some preliminary discussion on the nature of a moral sanctuary, the paper contends that from an Aristotelian-Thomistic perspective it is impossible for sanctuary from moral rules to exist inanyarea of life, including business. Even games are regulated by principles of Justice and Do No Harm. And the claim that ethics is too complicated to be figured out by the average business person simply does not make sense. In business as in any other human activity human values must be respected.
