![]() ![]() The primary outcome of this study is the demonstration of the conditions under which the imagination serves to augment and support rationality rather than serving as an impediment. To bring focus to theory development, this conceptual study of the moral imagination is grounded in the work of one discipline, one theorist, one text: Plato’s Republic. Given the variety of theoretical and disciplinary approaches, coupled with the diversity of applications, it would be fair to judge the current state of theory as fractured. But, I argue, the broad range of approaches has also served as an obstacle to theory development in the field. This has benefited moral theorizing because approaches that utilize the imagination tend to acknowledge important biological and psychological forces that influence the way we understand situations, develop strategies for problem-solving, and choose courses of action. The business ethics field contains a number of explanations for the imagination’s influence on decision-making. ![]()
