This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th Century philosopher Norman Bowie's article "A Kantian Approach To Business Ethics"

It focuses specifically on his discussion of the second categorical imperative articulated by Immanuel Kant, which Bowie reformulates in terms of "respect for persons", and applies to the example of laying people off.
