• W230996908 abstract "Abstract This presentation is a guided conversation of four writings of major global importance by groups of people in positions of leadership and responsibility. The comprehensive human perspective is Call to Our Guiding adopted at the 1999 of the World's in South Africa. The business perspective is represented by the Caux Round Table for Business. The political perspective is represented by the United Nations' of Human and the environmental perspective by the Principles, adopted in 1996. These four expressions of desired state of affairs, considered together are herein referred to as The discussion will consider two viewpoints, 1) what it means to be human, and 2) what it means to conduct business in the world. Introduction and assumptions The comprehensive A Call to Our Guiding Institutions, adopted at the 1999 Parliament of the World's Religions in South Africa is a highly innovative, insightful work addressed to major institutional leaders. The business perspective of ethical principles is from the Caux Round Table Principles for Business, addressed to corporate managers. The political perspective is represented by the United Nations' Declaration of Human Rights, addressed to governments and public institutions, and the environmental perspective is represented by the CERES Principles adopted in 1996. These four expressions of a desired state of affairs, when considered together, will be herein be referred to as 'the Principles'. When understood, both business and humanity may complement one another. But the correctly part is a serious problem in need of examination. I will try to present the examination in terms usable to practitioners. First, we need to elucidate the manner in which each of the above Principles is intricately interdependent. Two, because of their inter-dependence, a metaphysics permeates them. Grasping the inherent metaphysical framework allows those outside the framing organizations to adopt these Principles for their own and give them lived reality. And, we may better see where some of the statements need revision because of their potential unintended consequences, as well as limitations of inference. Several distinctions are necessary to understanding the ethics statements noted above and our discussion of those statements. First is the distinction between what is and what ought to be. This is the seminal observation for all ethical questions: what is, is not what ought to be. That there is a vast abyss on a global scale between these two states of affairs is the implicit assumption in each of the Principles. Without recognition of that gap, none of these would have come to be. So we may assume with a high degree of confidence that all parties to the Principles agree on this point. And since the parties assenting to them are recognized leading thinkers and practitioners in their special fields of learning and practice, this gap was not felt to be merely theoretical, but one of compelling experience. Second, there must be a clearly understood distinction between being and doing; and that being is prior to doing. Actio sequitur esse - action follows being, so said the Romans in their time... This is an important distinction, for the discussion of these statements will necessarily hinge on this precept. The formulation of the Principles considered in this presentation demonstrates that the people involved acted this out. Their concern was fixed in their attitudes and commitment to the actions needed to meet with others, convince them of the need, and then engage the often painful process of formulating and publishing these statements. Being preceded action. In every sense of what it means to be human, the element of choice is always present. To be human means to be a chooser. To choose means to influence the relation between premise and conclusion of a proposition. …" @default.
