Abstract<\/p>\n

In this interdisciplinary paper, we suggest that the applied fields of North American\/European business ethics and of American business law, as well as the foundational fields of modern Western ethics and social science from which the two applied fields draw and to which they contribute, have a shared tilt toward a \u201cyang\u201d perspective that sees the ethical person or organization as struggling to uphold principles and\/or virtues against flawed human nature, flawed organizations, flawed institutions, and, more fundamentally, against an egoistic, treachery-inducing logic of strategic action that impels selfishness in genes as well as in human beings.\u00a0 We contend that contemporary Western ethics and social science in general, and business ethics and business law in particular, could benefit from a greater admixture of a \u201cyin\u201d perspective that sees the ethical person, organization, and institution as submitting to a basically healthy human nature and to a basically benevolent logic of strategic action.\u00a0 Toward that end, we offer alternative understandings of human nature and of strategic action to juxtapose against what we contend are dominant understandings, and explore the relevance of such alternative understandings for normative and empirical business ethics and business law theory and practice.\u00a0 We suggest that Yin-Yang Critical Business Ethics (Y-Y CBE) and Yin-Yang Law (Y-Y CBL) perspectives can be born from combining the useful, relatively pessimistic understandings of the moral background derived from well-known models such as the Prisoner\u2019s Dilemma, the Milgram, Asch, and Zimbardo experiments, and the Implicit Association Test (IAT) with the different, relatively optimistic understandings associated with the alternative models that we describe here: the \u201cMoral Clarity Test\u201d (MCT), \u201cEthical Focal Points,\u201d and \u201cFundamental Harmony.\u201d\u00a0 Finally, we suggest that an appreciation of the largely parallel dilemmas and opportunities facing business ethics and business law academics could and should lead to better communication between the fields.\u00a0 As one way to achieve that, we suggest that the Society for Business Ethics and the Academy of Legal Studies, or subgroups (or split-offs) of both organizations, reverse the \u201cseparate if equal\u201d stance of holding their annual conferences over the same days in different cities in favor of an \u201cintegrationist\u201d stance of holding the national conferences, or local conferences, together.<\/p>\n
