Summary
  • "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.
