Philosophy

Description:

The study of philosophical concepts and ethical criteria applied to business practices especially from the perspective of the entrepreneur. Through case studies and scholarly contributions, the course will cover issues such as the ethical nature of the free market system, marketing and advertising, product development, etc. The course will ask key questions: "what makes a business a good business?"; "can a product or service be inherently unethical?"; "how can new products alter our community in important ways that contest our values?"; etc. Most importantly, the course will invite students to reflect on their own system of moral evaluation and creatively engage in ways that they could solve problems with attentiveness to the ethical dimensions of any business activity.
