Book Description
In recent years, many disciplines have become interested in the scientific study of morality. However, a conceptual framework for this work is still lacking. In The Moral Background, Gabriel Abend develops just such a framework and uses it to investigate the history of business ethics in the United States from the 1850s to the 1930s. According to Abend, morality consists of three levels: moral and immoral behavior, or the behavioral level; moral understandings and norms, or the normative level; and the moral background, which includes what moral concepts exist in a society, what moral methods can be used, what reasons can be given, and what objects can be morally evaluated at all. This background underlies the behavioral and normative levels; it supports, facilitates, and enables them. Through this perspective, Abend historically examines the work of numerous business ethicists and organizations—such as Protestant ministers, business associations, and business schools—and identifies two types of moral background. "Standards of Practice" is characterized by its scientific worldview, moral relativism, and emphasis on individuals' actions and decisions. The "Christian Merchant" type is characterized by its Christian worldview, moral objectivism, and conception of a person's life as a unity. The Moral Background offers both an original account of the history of business ethics and a novel framework for understanding and investigating morality in general.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Religious Tradesman, or Plain and Serious Hints of Advice for the Tradesman's Prudent and Pious Conduct: From His Entrance Into Business, to His Leaving It Off AS trade and commerce employ a very considerable part of mankind, an attempt to render the conduct of those who are engaged in it more happy and successful, will appear to be, at least, a benevolent undertaking and to this end it is evident, that moral as well as prudential directions may contribute. Cer tainly to discl1arge1 in a p manner the respective duties of the comm callings of lifts which take up six parts of our time in seven, requires greater attention of mind than is usu ally paid to them, for the regular discharge of their respective duties and may admit of more a$istance than has been yet offered to the world in any treatise now extant. There is, indeed, an excellent piece which has met with considerable and deserved acceptance, called the Complete English Tradesman, which I could wish were in the hands of all that are concern cd to appear in that character with honor or success but as it is chiefly employed m con siderations of a prudential nature, it leave. Room for an attempt of the present kind. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
