“…A comprehensive ethical behavior framework derived from extensive research in a context of social entrepreneurship should be an ideal solution to the issue discussed and this must be able to critique, explain and assess in the same way as it is done to other forms of organizations (Chell et al, 2016). To be meaningful for practitioners, business ethics must be grounded in the reality of experience (Macklin & Mathison, 2018). This might be of help for social entrepreneurship practitioners to extend its impact to the fullest.…”

An introduction of ethics into the theory of entrepreneurial passion is indeed inevitable because of its unique contribution to knowledge, motivation, and behavior. The lack of a specific ethical behavior framework handicapped various possible contributions made by social entrepreneurship to the society or economy. To be meaningful for practitioners, business ethics must be grounded in the reality of experience. This might be of help for social entrepreneurship practitioners to extend its impact to the fullest. Ethical behavior presents a positive predictor of entrepreneurial actions and innovation. Moreover, values and ethics can have positive effects on entrepreneurial passion. In fact, entrepreneurial attributes and qualities of young entrepreneurs can be promoted by ethics. Furthermore, the importance of the ethical factor in the development of social entrepreneurs' intentions can be better conceived by studying its effect as a function of the projects created by the sector of activity.

“…Statler and Oliver (2016) argue that embedment is not just about the content and communication of codes, but also the socially embedded formal and informal sensemaking that goes on around them. Macklin and Matheson (2018) also call for theories of business ethics that are “grounded in the reality of experience” (p. 134) and propose a reflexive communitarian approach where business ethicist researchers and business practitioners develop dialogic partnerships to develop norms and values.…”

We address the call to situate organizational codes of ethics in practice and local values rather than authoritarian forms of control. Our contribution lies in: (1) drawing on Ricoeur’s work on the capable human being to develop the idea of embedded ethics, which we argue is a form of lived ethics situated in how people understand and enact ethical values in specific contexts; and (2) illustrating, through an action research project carried out in a large Italian non-profit organization, how a hermeneutic-inspired narrative methodology can be used to develop an ethics charter situated in lived values. A hermeneutic approach to research recognizes that each research encounter is unique and co-created, therefore participant interpretations are important. The originality of our work centers around the novel narrative form and approach to developing an ethical charter based on embedded ethics. We conclude by suggesting that this approach to developing an ethical charter encompasses a form of orientational learning in which people come to understand a sense or feel for issues in their reflexive dialogue around narratives that surface and explore ethical tensions.

“…However, some commentators argue that ISCT, like other social contract approaches, places too much reliance on the assumption that moral reasoning can be free of the encumbrances of everyday life (Frederick 2000). A variety of alternatives has been proposed, including communitarian, discourse and dialogic approaches contending that political reasoning cannot be abstracted from historically embedded cultural values and norms (Macklin and Mathison 2017).…”

In this discussion, we consider political philosophy as a branch of philosophy studying the way human communities and societies create and maintain various forms of governance for the good of constituent individuals and groups. Governance as a system of conducting the affairs of the polis, i.e., the participating community of citizens, is the basis of society's political life. Hence, political philosophy is the practice of thinking reflectively about the nature of governance, political institutions and power, understood as a constitutive factor in the relationship between governing and being governed.Ontologically, political philosophy is concerned with the nature of political systems and relations, and of the values and principles that may be governing them. Epistemologically, the focus of political philosophy is on the role of knowledge and ideas in structuring people's understanding of political purpose, legitimacy, and authority. Allied with normative ethics, political philosophy engages in appraisals of past and existing governance arrangements and their impact on the wellbeing of societies, communities and individualsby reference to some ideal of the good. It also conceptualizes and evaluates proposals for the future of human communities and societies, using normative principles such as justice, rights, needs, equality, desert, responsibility, freedom, and life chances.Topics of central interest in political philosophy include:  The (tacit or explicit) social contract between citizens in a polis, as a fundamental principle that makes social and political order possible;  Forms of government of the polis, in particular the sources and principles of governing citizens, and the use of power and statecraft in international relations;  Private and public property, and the rights and responsibilities that governments have in relation to both;  The rights and liberties, duties and obligations of citizens, as well as how citizenship is defined and articulated;  Authority and legitimacy, i.e., their nature, forms and grounds, and their manifestation in various political orders, from democracy to totalitarianism; and  The role of public discourse and ideology in structuring political relationships and outcomes in a community. As a key political influencer and decision maker, business plays an increasingly important role in shaping today's mainstream philosophical perspectives on how communities, local, national and global, should be governed. It is therefore imperative that the ethics of
