This course aims to equip students with knowledge in the field of ethics, with a particular focus on company ethics. Since ethics is a branch of philosophy with the general aim of questioning the value systems in use, this course enables students to problematize the real ethical and moral challenges at the heart of professional relations. From a practical standpoint, this course encourages students to reflect on specific cases where ethics are at the heart of decision-making, and to take a critical look at the world around us. It pushes students to question the moral principles that determine our personal conduct within a community; what ethics are prevalent in our society? It also provides students with insights into various theoretical approaches to ethics, enabling them to connect theory with the analysis of practical situations. In doing so, it helps students question common sense and not comply with it out of reflex or habit. Moreover, it’s also about questioning one’s own positions, not in order to abandon them but rather to understand where they come from. The fundamental question might therefore be: “Why do I think this?” and “What makes me say that this is ‘good’ or ‘bad’?” This course contributes to the development of Competency F: “Analyzing the challenges of the social and solidarity economy as well as business ethics based on theoretical foundations and their tools.”
