Glossary Chapter 2

Glossary terms for Business Ethics: An Interactive Introduction, Chapter 2

TermDefinition
action-guiding Ethical reasons are action-guiding because they motivate us to act in ways that we think are morally right, or at least ethically permissible.
agreement-seeking Ethical reasons are agreement-seeking when offered as justifications to others for acting in a certain way. They are reasons about which there can be debate, and have justifications on whose truth or falsity and applicability we want others to agree.
“ought” implies “can” The metaethical principle that “ought” implies “can” means that a person cannot be morally obligated to perform an action or bring about a consequence if he is unable to do so.
the “is/ought” gap The “is/ought” gap means that we cannot derive an ethical conclusion from an argument consisting of purely scientific or factual premises.
ethical theories Ethical theories are ways of systematizing ethical judgments that philosophers have developed over many years.
ethical relativism Ethical relativism is the metaethical view that the truth or falsity of ethical judgments is relative to the traditional practices of a cultural group.
cultural diversity Cultural diversity is the anthropological fact that cultures differ in their accepted beliefs, attitudes, and practices.
toleration Toleration is the virtue of respecting beliefs, attitudes, and practices different from one’s own.
ethical pluralism Ethical pluralism says that we should make ethical decisions by considering the (often-conflicting) obligations that follow from all ethical theories, and then judge how to proceed.
