The Ethics of the Future

Chapter 7 in Should Prometheus Be Bound?, 2005, pp 116-136 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract By wishing to be responsible, the firm is engaging in an ethical approach. Those which say they are responsible will respond through their actions to a system of values that outlines a concept of man, society and the future. If the firm wishes to lend meaning to its actions, if it wants to give a purpose to economic progress by fitting it to human progress, ethics are essential to enlighten choice and guide behaviour. We once again pose the question of whether one can conform to ethics while participating in a system that has none.
