| Abstract: | You are a business owner who has just taken out a loan to manufacture a new high technology product, for which you have lucrative orders. What should you do? Should you take the honest route or the dishonest route? Clearly, you have to make a moral choice. In this essay the authors will address three questions: What are the main moral codes that have been accepted throughout the centuries and what are their views on honesty? Why are they inadequate and what would be a rational moral code and its argument for honesty? How would one apply it to the issue of businessmen being honest? |
