The grounding of ethics and business ethics

Is morality not relativistic and without ground? A big difference between almost any other culture and our modern culture is that people often are confronted with skeptical question about the grounding and the meaning of morality. Even people who affirm morality’s importance find it hard to deal with skeptical questions. That is why an introduction into business ethics must devote attention to the ground and meaning of morality. In view of morality’s meaning we discuss two ways in which morality has to be given meaning simultaneously: in terms of human personhood and the constitution of society. As regards the ground of morality, we select to popular topics: “free will” and “relativism” and discuss if, how and when the denial of free will and the affirmation of relativism affect the idea that morality has a ground.
