Corporate Citizenship, Contractarianism and Ethical Theory offers a rigorous exploration of the philosophical foundations that underpin business ethics in contemporary society. This scholarly work, part of the Law, Ethics and Economics series published by Ashgate, brings together critical perspectives on how corporations function as citizens within broader social frameworks. Edited by Jesús Conill, Christoph Lütge, and Tatjana Schönwälder-Kuntze, this volume examines the intersection of contractarian thought and ethical theory as applied to corporate behaviour and responsibility.

Ideal for academics, researchers, and postgraduate students in business ethics, philosophy, and corporate social responsibility, this text provides sophisticated theoretical insights that challenge conventional thinking about the role of corporations in society. Whether you're studying business ethics, corporate governance, or applied philosophy, this comprehensive volume offers valuable perspectives on the ethical dimensions of modern commerce.
