Surely they are the other way round, chapter 8 refers to style and not narrative while chapter 3 is solely about narrative (question 2) I just wanted to clarify with you.

Hope you are enjoying half term!

]]> Comment on Morality and Blindness in Woody Allen’s Crimes and Misdemeanors by Rob http://filmandphilosophy.com/2011/08/07/morality-and-blindness-in-woody-allens-crimes-and-misdemeanors/#comment-197 Sat, 11 Feb 2012 08:44:04 +0000 http://filmandphilosophy.wordpress.com/?p=62#comment-197 It’s a little off-topic but when discussing self-interest during the lecture my thoughts were drifting towards corporate ethics. It’s actually illegal for the directors of a company to do anything which is not in the company’s self interest. Thus people who are prepared to do things which are legal, but which we may consider immoral, in order to increase profitability for the company, tend to be the most successful in business circles. And supposedly moral acts, such as charity donations, are only performed if they would make good PR and create goodwill.

If you’re not an ethical egoist, is it ever possible for a company to act ethically?
