Although the very idea of business
ethics is no longer assumed to
be an oxymoron, there remains a
substantial tension between the
field of ethics and that of business.
The different paradigms tend to lead
to one-sided arguments that prevent
the emergence of a satisfactory
solution. The paper proposes that
such tension can be transcended to
bring forth a more encompassing
perspective. Psychologists Carl
G. Jung and Abraham H. Maslow
have both discussed the concept
of transcendence, which implies a
capacity of the subject not to be
constrained by existing or common
boundaries; rather the subject goes
beyond opposites to redefine the
context and terms of the dialogue.
The paper thus examines the
meaning of transcendence and its
possible implications for business
ethics research and praxis. Such
reflection needs to be led at both
social and individual level, for
individual researchers, managers
and leaders need to reassess the
tension in themselves if they are to
successfully transcend the tension in
their field.
