Economic Activity and Economic Ethics in the Context of Globalization

Original language description

The article reflects the historical changes in the role of morality in the economic activity. Under the influence of globalization and European integration, there is a revival of interest in economic ethics as precondition of successful integration of culturally varied economic subjects. The economic ethics addresses the issue of what the economic activity should be like to contribute to the realization of the primary goal of humanism as all-European value. The main issue of economic ethics is solving the conflict between the internal logic of the economic activity, which is directed at making profits, and universal moral demands of a democratic society. The economic activity as a partial area of the society is assigned to the field of heteronomous morality, which formulates standards regulating conduct in a specific area. At the same time, however, the economic activity is analysed as a part of the general moral space in which universal autonomous morality should apply. Heteronomous morality is based on ethics of utilitarianism and autonomous morality on ethics of deontology. There are two basic directions of development of economic ethics: ethics of personal moral responsibility and institutional ethics. Economic activity rooted in economic ethics is seen as important but not sufficient precondition of the European integration. Its crucial prerequisite should be human-focused approach corresponding to arising of European demos sharing humanism as all-European value.
