Times of Insight: Conscience, Corporations, and the Common Good (Issues in Business Ethics, 54) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Times of Insight: Conscience, Corporations, and the Common Good distills more than 45 years of Kenneth E. Goodpaster's research and teaching into a landmark work of applied ethics in business. As a foundational voice in corporate governance ethics, the book traces four core insights moral, institutional, anthropological, and Socratic that have shaped how leaders think about corporate conscience and ethics today.
Written for scholars and practitioners alike, this is both a stakeholder theory book and a practical guide to moral philosophy for corporations. It examines corporations as ethical agents and stakeholders, introduces concepts like moral projection and human dignity, and confronts the polarization shaping business behavior today.
Ideal for coursework and professional development alike, this title serves as essential business ethics education offering business ethics for leaders navigating real institutional pressure, and a rigorous foundation for anyone exploring applied ethics in business.

About the Author
Kenneth Goodpaster earned his A.B. in mathematics from the University of Notre Dame and his Ph.D. in philosophy from the University of Michigan. He taught philosophy at the University of Notre Dame during the 1970s before joining the Harvard Business School faculty in 1980.
In 1990, Goodpaster accepted the David and Barbara Koch Endowed Chair in Business Ethics at the University of St. Thomas (MN). At St. Thomas, he introduced a Great Books Seminar for graduate students in business, law, education, and engineering.
His book Conscience and Corporate Culture (Wiley-Blackwell, 2007) received generous praise from reviewers and he contributed to Vocation of the Business Leader, issued by the Vatican’s Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace (2012) and Respect in Action: Applying Subsidiarity in Business (UST Center for Catholic Studies, 2015).
Goodpaster served for a number of years as an Associate Editor of Business Ethics Quarterly and was Executive Editor of Corporate Responsibility: The American Experience (Cambridge University Press, 2012) which received the 2014Academy of Management Best Book Award.
In 2014, he was named to Ethisphere Magazine’s list of the 100 Most Influential People in Business Ethics―and was honored by the Society for Business Ethics for a “Career of Outstanding Scholarly Achievement in the Field of Business Ethics.” He is now Professor Emeritus in the St. Thomas Opus College of Business.
Goodpaster's wife Harriet is a nationally-recognized equestrian and a (retired) software engineer. They have three children, four grandchildren -- and a Morgan horse.
From the Back Cover
This open access book traces the research and teaching contributions of Kenneth Goodpaster over more than 45 years of his career. The book shows the content and the progression of these themes over the years identifying four insights in applied ethics: the moral insight, the institutional insight, the anthropological insight, and the Socratic insight. It highlights such concepts as conscience, corporate responsibility, corporations as agents and as recipients, stockholders, stakeholders, comprehensive moral thinking, and ethics education. In addition, Goodpaster explains phrases such as teleopathy, moral projection, human dignity, and the common good. Finally, the book examines with concern the implications of the foregoing for the polarizing and partisan trends in contemporary business behavior.
From the Inside Flap
What does it mean for a corporation to have a conscience? Drawing on 45 years of research and teaching, Kenneth Goodpaster explores four insights that redefine business ethics — moral, institutional, anthropological, and Socratic — and asks what leaders owe not just shareholders, but the common good.
