“…47, a. 10; Finnis, 1980), otherwise, market exchange—like any form of decision‐making—becomes practical craftiness or, more specifically, turns into what Aquinas would consider business cunning (Aquinas, 2006, II‐II, q.55, a.3; II‐II, q.55, a.2), which is the opposite of the virtue of practical wisdom or prudentia (Aquinas, 2006: II‐II, q. 47, a.4; a.6) in economic practices.…”

“…As a result, the acquisition of their means of subsistence—from making food to trading—requires cooperation (Aquinas, 2007, I, 1, 12), since no man alone can achieve what is necessary for subsistence. Aristotle's social division of labor (Pol, 1252b; NE, 1133a) was precisely based on this condition, thus permitting the economic realm to go beyond the domestic realm (Finnis, 1980). The so‐called intermediate communities (Aquinas, 2007, I, 1, 12) rely on the social division of labour to achieve an increased satisfaction of non‐daily needs (Aristotle, 1995b, henceforth Pol, 1252b; NE, 1133a).…”

“…As different from distributive justice (Aristotle, NE, 1131a), fairness in commutative matters takes place through all forms of exchange of products or services (S.Th. II‐II, q.61, a.1; a.2)—between individuals or groups (Finnis, 1980)—, that is, in trading, usufruct, money lending, deposits, or rent (Aristotle, NE, 1131a; 1258b). Commercial practices must integrate a criterion of commutative justice (Aquinas, 2006, II‐II, q.…”

“…In this line, Finnis (1980) explains that even in current times everyone benefits from the social division of labor, specialization, technology, joint or co-operative enterprises in production and marketing, and a market and a medium of exchange; in short, from an economy that overcomes the domestic realm. This enrichment goes beyond the material realm to include other cultural features, such as language, knowledge, or esthetic experience, religious aspiration.…”

Business Ethics Env & Resp

Neo‐Aristotelian virtue ethics applied to work and business theory have received increasing attention due to Alasdair MacIntyre's philosophy. At the same time, this approach has been accused of being inapplicable, a romantic nostalgia for an ideal world far from the reality of today's markets. Moreover, the more this theory evolves, the bigger the gap seems to become, as if good work were at odds with its economic dimension. This paper aims to address this gap by explaining how MacIntyre's neo‐Aristotelianism conceives of the economic dimension of good work. In particular, we claim that it is consistent with MacIntyre's philosophy that said economic dimension of work can be defined in terms of excellence and virtue, particularly in accordance with the virtues of justice and unity of life. However, for these virtues of good work to be practicable, a reconsideration of market practices performed under the logic of giving and receiving is needed. Hence, defining and sustaining an economic dimension of good work in MacIntyre also depend on the possibility of market practices being defined as excellent.

The article focuses on the definition of interpretive research, which is relatively unfamiliar within Slovenia. Other parts of the world also lack a common definition, and various authors classify it differently. Some authors define it as a research method within the interpretive paradigm, whereas others describe it as a type of research or a way of interpreting data that can also be applied within other paradigms. It is often equated with qualitative research. The article presents its role and importance in research, with particular emphasis on its utility in the field of pedagogy.
