| Abstract: | The authors highlight and challenge the dominance of rationalist assumptions in business ethics that promote and legitimize a privileging of reason over emotion as a source of moral action. The authors ask whether it is possible for business ethics not only to challenge this hierarchy but to avoid its reversal. The authors start by exploring some origins of reason-based ethics and relate these to ideas about organization. Here the authors hint at some popular examples of this kind of ethics and discuss two of its more important sources of inspiration: Kant and Weber. Next, the authors consider the relationship between bureaucracy and morality before evaluating Bauman's ideas about morality in bureaucratic organizations. The authors argue that Bauman fails to challenge the dualism between reason and emotion as he inverts the hierarchical relationship between them. |
