“…In most cases, it is easier to determine whether personal or business conduct is ethical or not with applied ethical standards than the more abstract normative theories of ethics such as Bentham and Mill's utilitarianism (Heydt, 2006), and Kant's "categorical imperative" (Harris, 2012). Therefore, the focus of this paper is to enumerate various examples and acts of both personal and business behavior rather than examine the abstract construct of ethics.…”

Both the Eastern and Western societies have an extensive and celebrated history of ethics education. Although normative ethics have been rigorously studied epistemologically and vigorously debated, abstract ethics theories are very difficult to interpret or apply. On the other hand, applied ethical standards can usually provide more direct guidance on specific personal or business conduct in determining whether it is ethical. In this paper, we will focus on the Ethical Egoism principle. Five examples of real-world personal and/or business conducts will be provided to demonstrate how to apply this ethical standard. We will also apply Confucius’s Golden Rule to the same examples in determining whether the similar ethical evaluations can be observed.

“…1. For works on Mill and the Victorian concern for character, see Carl 1991, Collini 1983, Donner 1991, Heydt 2006, Kim 1988, Lea 1982, Smits 2004, and Varouxakis 1998aand 1998b 2. This expectation is not without its Eurocentric implications, for Mill advocates a sort of "parental despotism or aristocracy" for peoples not yet "ready" for a liberal-democratic state.…”

Purpose How a micro-founded discipline such as economics could deal with the increasing global economic reality? This question has been asked frequently since the last economic crisis that appeared in 2008. In this challenging context, some commentators have turned their attention to a new area of knowledge coming from physics: econophysics which mainly focuses on a macro-analysis of economic systems. By showing that concepts used by econophysicists are consistent with an existing economic knowledge (developed by J.S. Mill), the purpose of this paper is to claim that an interdisciplinary perspective is possible between these two communities. Design/methodology/approach The authors propose a historical and conceptual analysis of the key concept of emergence to emphasize the potential bridge between econophysics and economics. Findings Six methodological arguments will be developed in order to show the existence of conceptual bridges as a necessary condition for the elaboration of a common language between economists and econophysics which would not be superfluous, in this challenging context, to clarify the growing complexity of economic phenomena. Originality/value Although the economics and econophysics study same the complex economic phenomena, very few collaborations exist between them. This paper paves a conceptual/methodological path for more collaboration between the two fields.
