“…In Christian anthropology, the treatment of the individual as a subject is derived from the person’s nature and has direct moral consequences. Because in the Christian tradition, God is treated as a person capable of making a respectful relation with another person who is created according to his image ( Scott, 2006 ; Cochran, 2009 ; Spencer, 2018 ), this image exists in human interpersonal relationships and acts as an ethical source ( Spencer, 2018 ). Similarly, Zagzebski (1998) links the motivation-based virtue theory with the divine person, who is the essential foundation of moral value.…”

Management practices prevailing in business organizations receive considerable criticism for often treating the employee as one of many resources or an instrument to achieve the organization’s goals. As employee reification has so far been largely investigated in the scientific literature from the perspective of neo-Marxist approach, this article seeks to broaden the discussion by showing how social teaching of the Catholic Church can serve to solve the problem of reification. Although there is no doubt that universal norms of business ethics can serve as protection of the employee dignity from the individual’s reification tendencies, moral relativism operating in postmodern life tends to call into question any universal moral norms. Therefore, this article discusses how responses to challenges posed by moral relativism can be obtained by applying methodological approaches proposed by the neo-Marxist classics Lukács, Honneth, and Catholic Social Teaching. The similarities and differences of these approaches are identified, and attention is also drawn to the possibilities and limitations of their application in business ethics practice. It is also demonstrated how understanding of human dignity and the attitude to a virtue, offered by social teaching of the Catholic Church, broadens the discussion on addressing the dangers posed by the person’s reification in organizations.

“…Tuhan Yesus mengatakan mengenai kualitas kesempurnaan dari kebaikan Allah: "Tak seorangpun yang baik dari pada Allah saja" (Mrk 10:18). Kesempurnaan dan kebaikan Allah itu terwujud secara nyata dalam diri Yesus Kristus (Cochran, 2009) sebagai gambar Allah yang murni, "Christ is the original imago Dei" (Cochran 2009: 412).…”

Karena peristiwa inkarnasi, Sabda menjadi manusia dalam Yesus Kristus, manusia ciptaan Allah ini dimungkinkan untuk mencapai kesempurnaan atau dimampukan untuk menjadi sempurna atau menjadi kudus (Cochran, 2009)seperti Allah sendiri. Bagaimana kita harus hidup menuju kesempurnaan atau menjadi sempurna menyerupai Allah Bapa?…”

Being a disciple of Christ is a gift of a special Christian vocation. A true disciple of Christ is required to follow Jesus bravely denying himself, taking up his cross every day, and following Jesus. A disciple of Christ is a human being’s community, who is called to always be united with Jesus and love others. In his life, a disciple of Christ is required to imitate and follow in the footsteps of Christ toward the perfection of life like Jesus who reached the perfection of His life by dying on the cross. A disciple becomes perfect when he unites himself with Christ totally, follows Christ wherever he walks, follows each of his steps, and always constantly learns from him under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

“…71 Duquesne's Elizabeth Agnew Cochran first entered the discussion on virtue by reflecting on the Stoics and the Fathers. 72 Now in Receptive Human Virtues she provides a study of Jonathan Edwards on the virtues. This work is a take on virtue theory from the perspective of the Reformation, and rightly so, as a study of America's premier Puritan.…”

At the 2009 convention of the Catholic Theological Society of America, the author advocated for a more rhetorically robust and closer-to-the-truth style in theological ethics. In this note, he examines those works that embody that style by capturing the urgency and immediacy of moral truth as lived in the lives of contemporary Christians. In particular, he finds that the closer we come to the truth, the more we inevitably recognize that conflict, tension, ambiguity, and even bewilderment are necessary, integral components of the true human moral narrative.
