Ultimate Purpose

ABSTRACT:If the ultimate purpose of ethical argument is to persuade people to act a certain way, the point of doing business ethics is to persuade others about what constitutes proper ethical behavior. Given that teleological perspective, the role of the business ethicist is to be an orator or rhetorician. Further, since one cannot expect more certitude than the subject warrants, from Aristotle’s perspective,while rhetoric is the most persuasive means of arguing, it is not scientific demonstration. Rhetoric uses examples and enthymemes. Such an approach answers the postmodern claim that ethical argument cannot lead to certitude and shows how the use of rhetoric helps avoid relativism and leads to more effective persuasion. According to Aristotle, rhetoric involves gaining truth with a “rough and general sketch.” This rhetorical approach allows the listener to “see as” the persuader sees, by attending to aspects of our shared experience and language. This mirrors insights of Kant’s reflexive judgment in his third critique as well as the later Wittgenstein, who compares ethics to aesthetics.

Abstrak Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji peran pemaknaan Al-Fatiha bagi perilaku etis para pelaku bisnis. Pada surah Al-Fatiha dijelaskan tentang beberapa hal, yakni; hari Pembalasan, bimbingan kepada hamba-hamba-Nya agar memohon dan tunduk kepada-Nya, mengesakan-Nya dan menyucikan-Nya dari sekutu atau tandingan, bimbingan agar manusia memohon petunjuk kepada-Nya menuju jalan yang lurus, serta anjuran untuk mengerjakan kebaikan agar manusia dapat berkumpul dengan orang-orang yang beruntung di hari Kiamat kelak. Dengan demikian apabila seorang Muslim sebagai pelaku bisnis itu memahami secara baik mengenai makna dan nilai yang terkandung pada Surat Al Fatiha, maka nilai-nilai kebaikan itu akan diingat berulang-ulang dan mengakar dalam diri sehingga melahirkan etika bisnis yang baik pula. Abstract This article aims to examine the role of Al-Fatiha's meaning for the ethical behavior of business people. In the surah Al-Fatiha several things are explained, namely; the Day of Judgment, guidance to His servants to plead and submit to Him, impose Him and sanctify Him from allies or counterparts, guidance so that human beings ask for guidance to Him towards the right path, and advice to do good so that humans can gather with lucky people on the Day of Judgment. Thus, if a Muslim as a businessman understands well the meaning and value contained in the Letter of Al-Fatiha, then the good values will be remembered repeatedly and rooted in themselves so as to produce good business ethics.

In 2012, the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners stated that 43% of frauds are detected by tip money. The role of tips for the people is a crucial factor in disclosing frauds. Most often, company frauds are revealed by a whistle blower. This study attempts to observe the dimensions of the existence and role of the organization of internal auditors and the witness protection agency as external factors influencing an internal auditor to become a whistle-blower. It also explores the effects of the internal auditor competencies, the moral attitude of the internal auditor, and the ethical behavior of company’s internal auditors as internal factors influencing an internal auditor on being a whistle-blower. The independent auditors are considered as the population as they are often connected with the internal auditors. They need the information from the internal auditor about fraud or abuse in the company. Questionnaires were mailed to them and analyzed using Partial Least Squares. It showed that only the ethical behavior of company’s internal auditors influenced them to be whistle blowers coupled by a witness protection program. To develop sound corporate governance in Indonesia,a whistle blower system is needed with emphasis on a strong witness protection. At present, Indonesia does not have the whistle blower act.

Practical Implications

The fundamental role of ontology, epistemology, and ethics is widely recognised across the healthcare professions. Yet what is less known in physiotherapy is how ontology and epistemology potentially undermine the ethical intentions of our theories and practices. In this article, we draw on the work of 20th-century philosopher Emmanuel Levinas to highlight this problem. Particularly Levinas’s ethical critique of ontology and the associated notion of thematisation enable us to highlight a violence that takes place in the philosophical foundations of physiotherapy. Using the overarching aims of physiotherapy, the theory and practice of diagnosis, and the notion and enforcing of professional identities as examples, we additionally show how this violence consequently pervades physiotherapy theory and practice. By exploring a range of critical and practical implications, we finally show how an application of Levinas’s critique of ontology additionally opens toward an otherwise physiotherapy grounded in a renewed understanding of self, other, and their relation. With this, we hope to highlight the core value and critical need for a deeper engagement with the work of Levinas in relation to all aspects of physiotherapy, and particularly its understanding and implementation of ethics that is so fundamental to its practice and a cornerstone of physiotherapy education.
