Humanism in business is not only an alternative to economism but a pathway to human excellence. In The Humanistic Person-Centered Company, the new book by Prof. Domènec Melé, humanism is explored through the rich notion of the “human person,” a keystone of modern personalist philosophy and Catholic social teaching. This groundbreaking work is the first to address the Catholic tradition on ethics in business while engaging in dialogue with other approaches.

Prepared in conversation with mainstream thought in business and business ethics, the book focuses on rethinking and enhancing conventional views. It delves deeper into the ethical principles of the Catholic tradition in business, bridging a significant gap in business ethics literature as well as in Catholic social teaching related to business.

Some of the data used to develop the study were obtained using resources available at the IESE Library, particularly the Catalog and our Article Databases. We encourage you to read this compelling work, available online and in print at the Library, offering insights to believers and non-believers alike.
