The Humanistic Person-centered Company Hardback
by Domenec Mele
Part of the Issues in Business Ethics series
Hardback
Description
Humanism in business is not only an alternative to economism but a way to human excellence.
Humanism presented here revolves around the rich notion of “human person”, keystone of modern personalist philosophy and Catholic Social Teaching.
From this perspective this book is offered to everyone, believer and nonbeliever alike. The person-centered humanism considers the human-wholeness, individual and relational, with subjectivity, self-determination, openness to transcendence, and with capacity not only to possess but also to give.
It also highlights the uniqueness of each person, endowed with a high constitutive dignity and in continuous process of flourishing toward human plenitude.
An attitude of respect and good will is due to non-personal beings, while persons deserve to be treated with justice and even with love of benevolence.
The book is prepared in dialogue with mainstream of thought in business and business ethics and focused on exploring ways to improve some conventional views.
It includes some proposals such as a person-based ethics, ethics understood as intrinsic to business activity, the consideration of the company as an organized community of persons, and the purpose of the company oriented toward the common good through a double mission, internal and external.
It is also suggested substituting the notion of “stakeholder” for the richer one of “relationholder.”
