The purpose of this book is to develop those ethical traditions. For
example, Horkheimer’s books Eclipse of Reason and Critique of
Instrumental Reason, and his early and now classic essay Materialism
and Morality ask for a reformation of Kantian ethics. The reform
sought is that categorical imperative in an individualism capitalism
serves to worsen the difference between business ethics and moral
philosophy. That is, it is not enough to try to be good or ethical as
individuals when it is the systemic processes that must be dealt with.
Therefore, Horkheimer asks that the maxim that would be made universal
be done at the level of people organizing with others to change the
social system that is producing the unethical behaviors. The book is
organized into several sections. The first section sets the stages,
beginning with a challenge to the field of social responsibility in
business and public administration (Jones, Ten bos, & Parker have a
new book out that is smashing). Then, we turn to Carr and to Zanettic
who each have done critical theory work in public administration. This
is followed by Heather Hopfl, who edited an issue on ethics of
goodness, and does the kind of writing that makes deep connections.
The next set of chapters make topic connections: rhizomatics,
dialogics of co experience, story/narrative, and postmodern. The third
set of topics focus on application: technofuturist, international
business, economics, university, environment, accounting,
spirituality, strategy, and ending with Mills’ work on silence of
race/ethnicity in business (and public administration) ethics writing.
