PHIL 331 Study Guide - Comprehensive Final Exam Guide - Exegesis, Ethics, Reading Company
Document Summary
The study of business ethics requires careful analysis of issues and clearheaded thinking about problems. If our efforts in this regard are to be successful, we will need some intellectual tools to work with. This module is designed to provide you with those tools. Some students will have taken philosophy courses in the past, and will already be familiar with the tools and concepts discussed here. For others, it will be their first exposure to the ways in which philosophers approach problems in general, and ethical problems in particular. The first part is on the nature of philosophical reasoning. The second is on the various theories of morality that philosophers appeal to when they reason about business ethics. In this section of the module, we will examine the nature of philosophical reasoning. We will examine the logical components that make up any argument. We begin this part by examining the concept of an argument.
