A Scientific Approach to Ethics
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-319-69112-1 (ISBN)
This book suggests that normative ethics should be developed as a social science, and that this will improve its reputation in business and society. Storchevoy defines four criteria of a good scientific method (clear definitions, correct logic, empirical verification, accurate measurement) and demonstrates how normative ethics can make use of them. He provides a historical review of the methodological evolution of normative ethics and outlines how it was moving in a nonlinear way towards this scientific development by the 16th century. A Scientific Approach to Ethics challenges the reputation of ethics among many within business and business schools as unscientific and argues that it can come to be seen as a scientific discipline able to reveal universal moral truth.
Maxim Storchevoy is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Strategic and International Management at the Graduate School of Management, St. Petersburg University, Russia. He has a background in economics and teaches Business Ethics and Contract Theory for Managers. In 2016, he became a founding director of the Russian Business Ethics Network, a chapter of the European Business Ethics Network (EBEN).
