MEREFLEKSIKAN HUBUNGAN ANTARA ETIKA ARISTOTELIAN DAN BISNIS DENGAN STUDI KASUS LUMPUR LAPINDO

Agustinus W. Dewantara

Abstract


Oftentimes, the link between ethics and business escapes our notice. Business
practices in Indonesia often wax corruptive and conspiring, with the misuse of
representation and power, and rife with immorality. Yet, business is precisely
often related to economic power and the ways of controlling it. Ethics allows
the science of business to develop virtues through each action that involves the
use of economic power. Truly ethical conduct is the dream of every man. That is
why doing business should not be equated to "dirty play". Aristotle can become
a reference point for the study of national ideals organized by a government
that is just and good. The discussion of this topic takes the mudflow case of
Lapindo in Sidoarjo as an example. We hope that this study could be a little
contribution to the study of ethics in the national life of Indonesia and the social
life of our people, two things that one feels is continually sinking into the mire
as time passes
