Course Descriptions

96/PHIL 96.  Business Values & Ethics:  This seminar course approaches Business Ethics as “Applied Ethics” where we use moral philosophies to resolve some issues that are part of our 21 century world of Marketplace Global Capitalism.  Our focus is mainly on choices and dilemmas faced by ALL of us in our day-to-day life as consumers, business managers and/or corporate professionals.  Seminar methods are based on small groups, typically 10-12 people.  Where we study business situations in which Values are in conflict.  We do this using BOTH Conceptual analysis and Experience-based stories to capture the theory and the practical understanding of Value & Ethics we-live-by.  This means going beyond factual knowledge alone to also be an intelligent reader/listener of our unique and our common Human Experiences. Our core concepts are the “Values and Ethics” behind personal-professional “Character and Integrity”.  Final grades are based on seminar participation, and several 3-5 page papers.  For further information, please contact Prof. B. Litt through the Office of Summer Sessions 610-758-3966.
