Abstract: Abstract Socrates referred to conscience as “Daimonion”, an inner voice of divine state, which warns in decisive moments and prevents the execution of a dangerous intention. Roughly a thousand years later, Martin Luther also dealt with this personal guardian spirit and emphasized that there is a higher instance that knows the moral value of one’s own action. Even more: The noblest entrepreneurial driving force, the “social conscience”, is altruistic in nature and characterized by unselfish action, selflessness and consideration for other ways of thinking and behaving. Unlike what we have learned in business administration, no immediate benefit or value is sought here. A procedure that is foreign to most merchants and therefore enjoys high reputation, equated with a good reputation.
