I.PART ONE: READING. (15 pts)
A/Comprehension. (07pts)
Read the text ,then do the following activities.
Socrates, one of the first philosophers, insisted on our right to think for ourselves. Too
often, he warned, humans sleepwalk through life, simply going along with the crowd. This
is dangerous in questions of morality, and particularly in corporate governance. When
corruption is uncovered, too often people say "everyone else was doing it.” Does your
organisation encourage independent thinkers, and people who follow their conscience?
Does it allow people to give critical feedback to managers? §1
Aristotle was a great biologist as well as a great philosopher. He based his ethics on a
psychological theory of human nature, insisting that we are naturally virtuous, rational,
social and happiness-seeking. Governments and organisations need to build the best
systems to let humans fulfill their natural needs.§2
Plutarch, the ancient Greek historian and educator, understood that humans are
incredibly social creatures, who constantly observe the people around them and imitate
them.§3
Musonius Rufus was known as the Socrates of Rome. He was another Stoic, who taught
that philosophy cannot just be theoretical. If you want to be an ethical individual or an
ethical company, you can't just study ethics, you have to practise it, every day, to get into
good habits. The ancient Greek word for ethics is actually the same word for habit. §4
