6. PHILOSOPHIES
INFLUENCING OUR
BUSINESS PRACTICES
BUSINESS ETHICS AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

7. THE CLASSICAL PHILOSOPHERS AND
PHILOSOPHIES AND THEIR
IMPLICATIONS ON BUSINESS PRACTICES

8. SOCRATES(469–
399 BCE)
“THE GAD–FLY AT THE
MARKETPLACE”
Socrates is one of the few individuals
whom one could say have and shaped
the cultural and intellectual
development of the world for without
him, history would be profound
differently.

9. THE SOCRATE’S
PHILOSOPHICAL IDEA:
“THE UNEXAMINED LIFE
IS NOT WORTH LIVING”

10. SOCRATES THOUGHT OF THE
ENTREPRENEURS
• The Socratic Method
• Socrates insisted on a right to think of
ourselves by introducing the philosophical
concept, “Dare to Disagree.”

11. PLATO
“THE PHILOSPHER KING”
Plato is one of the world’s best known and
most widely read and studied
philosophers. He was the student of
Socrates and the teacher of Aristotle. He
wrote in the middle of the 4th Century BCE
in ancient Greece.

12. THE PLATO’S PHILOSOPHICAL
IDEA:
“GOOD PEOPLE DO NOT NEED LAWS TO
TELL THEM TO ACT RESPONSIBLY, WHILE
BAD PEOPLE WILL FIND A WAY AROUND
THE LAWS.”

13. • Plato maintains a virtue-based
eudemonistic conception of ethics. That
is to say, happiness or well-being
(eudaimonia) is the highest aim of moral
thought and conduct, and the virtues
(aretê: excellence) are the requisite skills
and dispositions needed to attain it.

14. ARISTOTLE
(384–322 BCE)
“ALL OR NOTHING”
Aristotle is a towering figure in
ancient Greek philosophy,
contributing to logic, metaphysics,
mathematics, physics, biology,
ethics, politics, agriculture,
medicine, dance, and theater.

15. THESE ARE SOME OF ARISTOTLE’S
PHILOSOPHICAL IDEAS:
“HAPPINESS IS THE MEANING AND THE
PURPOSE OF LIFE, THE WHOLE AIM, AND END
OF HUMAN EXISTENCE.”
“LET PEOPLE SEEK FULFILLMENT.”

16. • The word happiness in ethics is a
translation of the Greek term
“eudaimonia” which connotes success and
fulfillment. Aristotle, this happiness is our
highest goal. In relation to business,
Aristotle concludes that the role of the
leader is to create an environment in
which all members of an organization can
realize their potential.

17. IMMANUEL
KANT
(1724–1804)
“DUTY BASED ETHICS”
He is one of the most influential
philosophers in the history of Western
Philosophy. He was not concerned with
the consequences of one’s actions or
the harm caused to one’s individual
interests.

18. • For example, business ethics is
littered with cases of companies
that have suffered damaging crises
due to their leaders’ lack of
commitment to act based on
goodwill and about what benefits
others

20. UTILITARIANISM
• Utilitarianism is a philosophy or belief suggesting that
an action is morally right when the majority of people
benefit from it. Utilitarianism is a moral theory that
advocates actions that promote overall happiness or
pleasure and reject actions that cause unhappiness or
harm. A utilitarian philosophy, when directed to making
social, economic, or political decisions, aims for the
betterment of society.
