The Rejection of Separation Thesis Examination of a Business Ethics Issue

Abstract

The world wide discussions and developments of different approaches on
business ethics is one of the subjects of great attention in the contemporary world.
Its chronological normative and practical appealing has compelled every rational
person to think over the relation of business and ethics again and again in an
endless way. However, day to day changes of its approaches are also indicating the
fact that traditional thought of accepting business and ethics separately on the basis
of their nature is somehow still active today. This paper is an attempt to examine the
foundational issues of both discourses as a repercussion of that conventional view.
Human nature analysis will be the major focused arena to resolve their
contradictions. Finally, it is going to recognize that the separation of business and
ethics is not possible. Both of them belong to the same ground and purpose, and
always can complement each other.
