Opis

Hegel's Moral Corporation is about two versions of a corporation, one business oriented and dedicated to shareholder-value and profit-maximisation and one dedicated to moral life, Sittlichkeit, in Hegelian terms.

Recenzje

"In his book, Hegel's Moral Corporation, Thomas Klikauer contrasts Hegel's corporations with modern ones. ... Another aim of the book is to introduce Hegel's social and political philosophy to managers and management students ... . for students and scholars of management, Hegel's Moral Corporation provides a good introduction to Hegel's conception of Civil Society in general and his idea of corporations in particular." (Onur Erdal Kökerer, Marx and Philosophy Reviews, marxandphilosophy.org.uk, December, 2016)

"Klikauer's project is important, as he may be the first scholar to have given sustained attention to the relevance of Hegelian ethics to business ethics. ... Klikauer's book is important reading for all concerned with seeing an expansion of business ethics, in both theory and practice, as it presents us with a compelling vision for a truly ethical and economically viable corporation." (Sybol Anderson, Journal of Business Ethics, November, 2016)
