PHIL 460
:
Corporate Social Responsibility
This is an extensive course on how and why corporations make the decisions that they do regarding what
constitutes the private good, the public good, both nationally and internationally. In what ways does the
capitalist profit motive affect ethical decision making? What are the consequences? What constitutes good
management, destructive management? What is an accident? A tragedy? A disaster? Who should ultimately be
responsible? A philosophical examination of intensive case studies will analyze what responsibility corporations
have for risk management, social welfare and environmental sustainability in the global interface of the 21st
century.
