MUST the empirical study of business ethics and values stand in the shadow of positivism? If so, does that constrain such studies to normatively sterile descriptions of purported facts? And would the methods thus employed fall short of yielding needed normative perspectives on business decisions that occasionally mean life or death, and even more often affect the quality of life, for those who feel their weight? Are the values and ethical principles that lie behind business actions so elusive, so inaccessible, so imprecise that they must remain forever in the shadowy realm of speculation and commonsense opinion, never to be liberated from positivism’s Gulag?
