Preferred term

postmodernism and business ethics  

Definition(s)

  • The postmodern perspective on ethics emerged as a critique of what Alasdair MacIntyre, in After Virtue, has called the “Enlightenment Project” for justifying a human-centered system of moral sense making. In pre18th-century Europe, ethical norms served as external guideposts to help humans journey toward a preordained transcendental purpose, or telos, as revealed in the Greek concept of the good or the Christian vision of the godly life.
