This book was released on 2002 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Klein (philosophy, Fairleigh Dickinson University) argues that Plato's contributions to contemporary business ethics and Aristotle's virtue ethics provide business leaders with a better account of ethical decision-making and a more balanced business ethic than modern ethical theory can. Klein uses Don Quixote as an illustration of the problem of idealism and realism in business ethics, touches on Peter F. Drucker's version of a post-capitalist society, and examines the scientific findings of Antonio R. Damasio and the philosophical reflections on Ronald de Sousa on the relationship between the emotions and reasoning, in this far-ranging discussion which originated as journal articles published in the 1990s.
