18Business, Science and Ethics: A Case Study in the Necessary Evolution of MethodologyBetween the Species 13 (9): 8. 2009.Alasdair MacIntyre and David DeGrazia have explored the question of how sophisticated dolphins’ cognitive abilities are, and these thinkers have taken positions based on a flawed methodology that either assert or imply that dolphins fall below humans when it comes to cognitive sophistication and moral consideration.

102Dolphin peopleThe Philosophers' Magazine 49 (49): 36-43. 2010.The existence of nonhuman persons would fly in the face of everything our species has believed about its uniqueness for thousands of years.

68Business, Ethics, and Carol Gilligan's "Two Voices"Business Ethics Quarterly 2 (1): 51-61. 1992.This article argues that Carol Gilligan's research in moral development psychology, work which claims that women speak about ethics in a "different voice" than men do, is applicable to business ethics. This essay claims that Gilligan's "ethic of care" provides a plausible explanation for the results of two studies that found men and women handling ethical dilemmas in business differently. This paper also speculates briefly about the management implications of Gilligan's ideas.
