  6. Profits & Ethics The question is : Is itfair to make profits ? yes, itcould! • The Rootsin the libertarianismtheory.  Philosophical & Politicaltheory

  7. Whatdoesthistheorydefend? • «  A society isfair (just) when the principle of freedomisrespected ! » • There are otherways : • Utilitarism – happyness • Marxism – equality • Rawls ‘ theory – bothfreedom & equality • Habermas - acting communition • Honneth - recognition

  8. Freedom for libertarians? Wecan do all whatwewantto do! BUT in A coherentlegalsystem: • Property of the body • Fair transactions of the Properties • Propertiesorigine In this case, profits are « fair »!

  9. Could the « Freedom » idea had split to Ultracapitalism ? YES!

  10. Ultracapitalime ? « The one and onlycompagnies reponsabilityisprofitability » CSQS 25,000 poeple are starvingeachday!!!

  11. II Is it possible to increasemorality in the ultracapitalism ? « Corporate Social Responsability » and « Stakeholders » Principleresponsability « Technologies self-sufficiency » «  Next » generations Differentresponsabilities « depending on… » The Care Measure the actions according on the « response » its impacts on « others’weakness »

  12. They try to do… • This recent point of view (raising of moral standart) derives largely from the developpement of The Corporate Social Responsability concept. • The CSR fondation – values coming from the bible and the Christian heritage (some decades ago – late 1960s and early 1970s)

  13. Corporate social responsabilityDefinition 1 • Corporate conscience • Corporatecitizenship • Social performanence • Sustainableresponsiblebusiness A voluntaryprocesswith the aim to embraceresponsability for all the company’sactions CSR =

  14. Defintition 2 encourage a positive impact throughitsactitivitieson all stakeholders • Environment • consumers • communities • membres of the public sphere ✪ employees (includingoldworkers) CSR =

  15. Is it actually a progress ? • Implementationof thisprocess=a important cost • Weak or bad return on investment (in terms of profits) • CSR processisan « image »to distractconsumers and employeesfromethical questions posed by the companycoreoperations.

  16. Judgement ? If real implication in CSR – there are real befenits for all stakeholders! If CSR = communication aliby and marketing outline – No moral inprovement • Nobodyis able to clearlyjudgethis paradoxal situation • In myphilosopher’s opinion – NO real progress!

  17. III Principleresponsability « Technologies self-sufficiency» « Next » generations Differentresponsabilities « depending on… » The Care Measure the actions according to the « response » its impacts on « others’weakness »

  18. Another and best path…

  19. THE Principle responsabilityH. Jonas Warning!!! Our responsability is To maintenour links with the nature To anticipate the impacts on the unborngenerations To increasemorality all aroundour local situation • Technologies are more and more independant from the human being • We have to pay attention to the next generations • We haven’t the same level of responsability

  20. IV The Care Measure the actions according on (the « response ») its impacts on « others’weakness »

  21. « Care » Comes from C. Gilligan • Nurses’ fields • Feministstudies • « stay by the bedside » • Ethicalfield = measurethe actions accordingto its impacts on « others’weakness »

  22. Measure the actions according to (the « response ») its impacts on « others’weakness » It couldbecome a ethical criterium and a new way to solidarity and non-profit based society • As an individual • In yourcommunity live • In yourfight for a fair society

  23. Profits & ethics • Profits are « valid » on an ethical point of view! • But ultracapitalismkillsHumanbeings Is it possible to increasemoralityultracapitalism by way of CSR ? • No! It isactuallyoften a screen or an aliby Principleresponsability • If wewant to preserve The HumanBeing & the nature… • we have to applythisPrinciple in all our actions HOW? HOW? With The Care attitude! • Measuring the actions according to the response in its impacts on the « others’weakness » • In all relationships – individual, groups & companies - society
