The Ethics of Economic ResponsibilityAuthor(s): Ralf Lfter\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9780367623791, 978-0367623791\nSynopsis\nThe Ethics of Economic Responsibility raises fundamental ethical questions related to the conceptualization of economic responsibility, that is: the imperative to fulfil certain economic obligations. It builds on a basic characterization of the question of ethics in order to introduce responsibility as a constitutive element for a new determination of economic knowledge. \n\nDrawing on the metaphysical tradition of philosophy, the book explores the distinction between \""operability-based-responsibility\"" and \""end-in-itself-based responsibility\"" and also considers what is tentatively called \""being-related responsibility\"". By presenting these arguments about the notion of economic responsibility, the book contributes to the growing calls for ethical questions to not be merely compleme.
