Value generalization: limitations and possibilities of a communication about values

Wertegeneralisierung: Grenzen und Möglichkeiten der Kommunikation über Werte

"Dieser Beitrag stellt einen Versuch dar, die Bedeutung des Begriffs 'Wertegeneralisierung' für die Moralphilosophie und somit hoffentlich auch für die Wirtschafts- und Unternehmensethik darzustellen. Die Bedeutung dieses Begriffs liegt in seinem Beitrag zu dem, was man die Logik einer Kommunikation über Werte nennen könnte. Diese Logik ist vom rational-argumentativen Diskurs zu unterscheiden, aber auch von der Vorstellung einer unversöhnlichen Konfrontation der Werte, Identitäten oder Kulturen oder jeder anderen Form eines irrationalistischen Dezisionismus, der vorgibt, man könne letzte Werte nur in existentieller Weise wählen ohne jede Begründung oder intersubjektive Plausibilität."

"This contribution is an attempt to demonstrate that the concept of 'value generalization' is of considerable importance for moral philosophy and therefore hopefully also for those interested in business and economic ethics. The importance of this concept lies in its relevance for what one could call 'the logic of a communication about values'. This logic is different from the structure of rational-argumentative discourse in a strict sense, but also far from a mere clash of values or identities or civilizations or any form of irrationalist decisionism as if ultimate values could only be chosen in an existential way without any reasoning and intersubjective plausibility."
