Course objectives
Business Ethics (PHETPO) Basing on the so-called theory of fields, the course will attempt to classify the problems of business ethics into those at the theoretical, mid-range and practical level. At the theoretical level, the course will describe the development of ethical theories within the framework of European cultural environment, problematic consequences of individual theories and the relationship between business ethics and ethics as such. In the mid-range section of the course the students will be acquainted with the methodology of solving ethical problems, which will enable them to recognize on what level the individual types of ethical problems can be solved. In the practical part of the course, the students will be shown individual examples of unethical behaviour which is difficult to recognize (manipulation, sophisticated fundamentalism, etc.), and they will be provided an opportunity to deconstruct such behaviour. Examination: written test, oral exam.
