Abstract

Moral dissensus is a distinct feature of the time. This is not true only of the post-modern culture in general, but also of business culture specifically. An explanation of how modernist rationality has produced moral dissensus without offering any hope of bring an end to it in the foreseeable future is presented. Opting for a form of post-modernist rationality as the only way of dealing with moral dissensus, an analysis is presented of a number of ways proposed by specialists in the field of business ethics, as well as philosophers, to deal with moral decision-making in this situation of moral dissensus. None of these attempts succeed in coming to terms with moral dissensus. An alternative approach to moral decision-making, labeled rational interaction for moral sensitivity, is presented.
