Spirituality In (and Out) of the Classroom: A Pragmatic Approach

Journal of Business Ethics, 2007, vol. 73, issue 3, 287-299

Abstract: This paper is divided into two sections. In the first section, I discuss “what is spirituality?â€\x9D and in the section that follows, I examine some of the implications of my definition to the teaching of spirituality in an undergraduate business ethics course. For the purposes of this paper, spirituality is defined as the planned experience (the inner feeling) of blending integrity and integration through 1 – acceptance (of the past), 2 – commitment (to the future), 3 – reasonable choice, 4 – mindful action, and 5 –continuous dialog (both internal and external). This definition is a work-in-progress and offered mainly as a point of departure rather than a final destination. Copyright Springer Science+Business Media, Inc. 2007
