PhD project

Rationality in corporate decision making from the perspective of Philippa Foot's moral philosophy - A new approach to business ethics

Florian´s thesis aims to show that an economistic interpretation of rationality in business is neither theoretically nor empirically feasible. For this, he critically discusses the theoretical background of current business ethics from the point of view of moral philosopher Philippa Foot. In addition, he seeks to conduct qualitative interviews with corporative actors in order to identify the respondents' rationales for their business decisions. With this research, he aims to show the relevance and adaptability of Foot's point of view in business ethics.
