Abstract

This chapter introduces the Handbook section entitled Moral Philosophy and Management. After briefly defining moral philosophy and its main subdomains (namely, metaethics, normative ethics, and applied ethics), it highlights the relevance of moral-philosophical ideas for management practice and outlines some of the more prominent modes of engaging moral philosophy in management scholarship. Building on these foundations, each of the sixteen chapters included in this section is introduced and integrated into one of four areas (or stages in philosophical reflection): methodological considerations; foundational inquiries into the ethical nature of management; debates around particular ethical theories engaged in exploring management; and philosophical analyses applied to topical management issues. The chapter concludes with a call for new moral-philosophical ideas and methods to prepare managers for the grand challenges of the contemporary world.
