Description

"Rosenthal and Buchholz use the philosophical foundations established by classical American pragmatism to develop the relationship between the pragmatic position and other contemporary business ethics positions and to provide a distinctive pragmatic theory of the corporation. One chapter is devoted to the contrast between the neo-pragmatism of Richard Rorty and the classical pragmatism that underpins this book. They demonstrate that the pragmatic vision as utilized here has major implications for moral leadership in business and the education of future business leaders."--BOOK JACKET.
