Chapter Chapter 3 in Business Ethics, 2014, pp 55-72 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Indian moral system has a metaphysical basis. In the West, ethics is autonomous and it does not need to have a metaphysical or religious foundation. It is a social affair and therefore the ought-questions of morality are to be decided simply on social and rational considerations.
