Virtue and Role: Reflections on the Social Nature of Morality

Author

  • Newton, Lisa

Abstract

Robert Solomon has usefully set forth the outlines of an ontology of ethics for the employee. I seize upon three of the insights in his paper—specifically, relating to employee role, social nature, and virtue— and develop them along Aristotelean lines, showing along the way how classic “dilemmas†of the business ethics literature can be recast as problems of employee character and virtue.
