dc.description.abstract | The significant influence of Ludwig
Wittgenstein in social science
is partly due to the central role
played by the practical dimension,
which is inherent in his philosophy.
Nowadays, the latter is drawing
strong interest in the academic
community, in sociology, in
management science as well as in
business ethics, a field in which
experts strive to establish an
ethics opposed to any normativity,
directly geared to managerial
practices. However, the very same
scholars who investigated this
“practical turn” and who do not
fail to refer to Wittgenstein as a
major philosophical source are
hardly prolific about his work
as a philosopher. Can the main
Wittgensteinian concepts serve
as a reliable theoretical basis on
which to ground business ethics as
a practice? To answer this question,
we first analyse the relation
between facts and values, between
rule and practice. We then explore
the converging elements existing
in Wittgenstein’s philosophy as a
quest for self-knowledge, before
expounding the principles of what
might constitute an approach to
business ethics as practice. Lastly,
we underscore the limitations of
such an interpretation as well as to
the need to go deeper into these
tentative conclusions, both from an
empirical and theoretical point of
view. | en |
