What does environmental ethics have to say about the urban context? Is the city an environment that has only negative value or is it possible, and in fact necessary, to develop ethical recommendations about how to design it? In this paper, I argue for the second of these disjuncts and sketch some ideas for an environmental city ethics. I try to show that the most important principle of such an ethics is procedural: anyone affected by a decision about the urban environment must have the possibility to participate in the process of making it. This principle has certain preconditions and there are also limitations on its applicability. For example, it is plausible that there are certain ecocentric ethical obligations, which are valid independently of the implementation of the principle. I sketch an idea for how a city's green areas can help to raise citizens' awareness of these obligations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper reviews the literature on ethical decision making in organizations, to establish its levels of disciplinary integration, as well as its more notorious theoretical and methodological approaches. To that end, systematic and narrative analysis were combined. The systematic review was based on references obtained from the Web of Science (WoS), which were analyzed through the Tree of Science (ToS) platform to identify citation networks. The narrative review was based on the analysis of complementary references through Gephi. The literature was classified into three levels of disciplinary dialogue: 1) Conceptual importation; 2) Theoretical reciprocity; and 3) Theoretical unity. It is concluded that the lack of studies grounded in theoretical unity, integrated and mixed approaches, justifies the development of studies based on a more transdisciplinary vision of decision-making theory and practice. Hence, it is proposed to resort to complex integral realism, as a promising route to develop the required transdisciplinary vision of Ethical Decision Making. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Encyclical Caritas in veritate offers guidelines for the economic behavior of societies, institutions and individuals. The framework it creates differs front the accepted values that configure markets today. In this alternate horizon, action lines can be proposed that delineate economic behaviors for Christians. This paper suggest changes in attitudes in order to introduce a new way of managing economic decisions that may be guided by gratuitousness and the logic of gift as proposed by the Encyclical.
