PHIL 202 Business Ethics

3 Credits

As an introduction to the basic philosophical and conceptual structure of the field of business ethics, students examine ethical choices and dilemmas that arise in business contexts and increase their knowledge of how ethics applies to business. They also gain an awareness of the ethical responsibilities facing employees, customers, citizens, managers, and executives, and enhance their knowledge of a basic ethical framework with which to examine a range of ethical issues that arise in business contexts. The course aims to develop the student’s abilities to think critically and reflectively. Through study of a variety of ethical approaches to business, students explore the meaning of self and society, and reflect on the compatibility of faith and reason with specific reference to the Catholic Franciscan intellectual and spiritual tradition.
