Question

Kant believes that actions done for self-interested reasons can’t count as moral; rather, you must act out of a sense of duty. Why does this represent a problem for Kantian business ethics? How does Bowie solve this problem?

Answer 1

For Kantian business acts done for ownself should not be taken as moral because they beleives in the thought that such acts are not ethical in natural and rather they are superficial in nature. These acts are only done by the people to get benefitted by ownself only which is against the ethics of the business. Business should be such that which should help the society first and then the next motto is the prifit from it.

Bowie has brought a change in paradigm shift on the thoughts process of the entire society by introducing a dual benefit system in the society in which the acts are placed in such a way that at the same time it helps the society which is the first motto of Kantian business society and secondly it helps one,s ownself which keeps the interest of the person to act for business.
