The main aim of this essay will be to examine humanistic values in the Indian and Chinese philosophical traditions and to argue for the need for an awareness of these positions in business ethics. From the point of view of business, one could doubt the relevance of these traditions. Indian philosophical systems are commonly thought of as preoccupied with otherworldly concerns; moreover, the feudal backdrop of ancient Chinese positions appears unsettling today. Could anything at all, one could ask, be gleaned from them, even in debates which try, for example, to develop transnational ethical norms to guide one’s business conduct? In section four, I will attempt to dispel such doubts.
