What is Kantian?
The terms 'Kantian' or 'Kantianism' refer to the teachings of Immanuel Kant, a philosopher born in Koenigsberg, Prussia in 1724. He essentially founded the principals behind modern day moral ethics, viewing that the interests of society as a whole are more important than individual wants or desires. Kant's ethics are based on his view of rationality as our greatest tool, and his belief that all people are fundamentally good beings.
What is Kantianism in Business?
Kant is perhaps best known for defending a version of the “respect for persons” principle, which implies that any business practice that puts money above people is immoral. The will to better people's lives, and society in general, must be the foremost priority in true Kantian business practice. Employees provide meaningful work on a daily basis, and management must act fairly and democratically within the organization whenever possible. It is this set of core beliefs that we hold close to our hearts, and keep at the forefront of our minds.
In keeping with this philosophy, Kantian will develop and market innovative products which promote good health, longevity, and quality of life for our customers. The company will do so in a manner consistent with its philosophical values, while adhering to the principles of increasing value for our stakeholders.
