Notes

1 For instance, LaRue Hosmer, “5 Years, 20 issues, 141 Articles, and What?” Business Ethics Quarterly 6 (1996): 325-358.

2 Spinosa, Flores, and Dreyfus sometimes employ the Heideggerian distinction between the “ontic” (the everyday, taken-for-granted) and the “ontological” (the reflective, the awareness of the practice and its conditions as a practice). Mercifully, they keep most of this jargon to a miminum.
