A responsabilidade social e econômica da sociedade empresária na perspectiva da justiça distributiva de John Rawls

Abstract

This paper aims at analyzing the social and economic responsibility of today's business community as an institution responsible for fostering and providing the state with the minimum resources necessary for the realization of fundamental rights in a social democratic bourgeois state responsible for a set of benefits Social relations established by the 1988 Constitution with the aim of providing a dignified life for all. For this purpose, we sought to discuss the concept of corporate social and economic responsibility based on the concept of distributive justice of John Rawls, the theoretical framework of the present study. This work is justified by the need to discuss how the compulsory social function of ownership of free enterprise and competition occurs as a way of preserving the dignity of the human person in a context where it is not accepted that the business society simply aims at profit, Because from the point of view of social responsibility, the company assumes a range of responsibilities that goes far beyond simply generating wealth for the investor and the simple duty to pay taxes. Therefore, in the first chapter we present some concepts that will contribute to the understanding of the meaning of the responsibility of the business society and its social and economic aspects in a capitalist system of liberal perspective, but with state interventionism in the economic domain. In the second chapter, we try to present different concepts of justice and how they are taken up and expanded by values that particularize each time and place. This resumption is made to situate the theory of distributive justice developed by John Rawls and his frame of references. And finally, in the third chapter, we try to make approximations of how corporate responsibilities are shaped in the perspective of Rawlsian justice, especially with respect to the possibility of demanding an action of the corporate societies within an ethical framework of a well-ordered society Which assures the State to develop various social arrangements in favor of the less favored, and it is not reasonable to require more coercively social and economic responsibility of the companies, besides what they deliberately resolve to contribute.
