Abstract:
In this chapter, the notion of “purpose” is discussed. It is shown that it has a long tradition in Western philosophy and that it also plays a crucial role in business ethics. Without “purpose,” or concomitant, notions such as “goal” or “result,” human rationality seems to be at risk. This, however, is not to suggest that we cannot be critical about the way this notion functions in philosophy and society.
