Call for Papers "Humanistic Ethics in the Age of Globality: Normative Foundations for Business in Society" Edited Book Humanistic Management Network __________________________________________________ Our volume intends to contribute to an ethics for business and society in the age of globalization. As a main driver of globalization and also a source of many of its social, environmental, and cultural problems, the free-market economy in particular is in need of normative orientation. Norms and values for trans-national business, however, must prove the further globalization proceeds, the more acceptable to individuals from very diverse cultural traditions. The general idea of this book is therefore that re-orienting ethics at the nature of the human being helps focus moral debates on the one common ground that people of all cultures share. Revisiting theories of humanistic ethics we aim to work towards ethical positions for business and society with a global appeal. The book begins by unearthing the religious and cultural foundations of humanistic ethics. Then we proceed along the lines of the history of Western philosophy in pursuit of a self-critical ethics of the human being. In each chapter, we investigate whether and how the examined traditions can yield normative guidelines for our socio-economic situation today. We already have accepted and collected a number of essays on various philosophical schools and authors.
