摘要：虽然“公平”和“社会责任”是日本企业商业伦理议程的一部分，但必须在日本独特的伦理方法背景下理解这些术语的含义。在日本，伦理与宗教维度（两种规范环境）和社会维度（同心圆框架）密不可分。受儒家、佛教和其他传统和现代日本宗教影响的规范环境强调，不仅个人，而且群体都有自己的精神（人），这种精神与最终的现实相联系。同心圆的框架允许道德主体对各自的圆应用不同的伦理规则。这些宗教和社会层面的动态变化导致了对个人和企业的不同看法，与西方占主导地位的观点不同。
Abstract: Although “fairness” and “social responsibilities” form part of the business ethics agenda of Japanese corporations, the meaning of these terms must be understood in the context of the distinctive Japanese approach to ethics. In Japan, ethics is inextricably bound up with religious dimension (two normative environments) and social dimension (framework of concentric circles). The normative environments, influenced by Confucianism, Buddhism, and other traditional and modern Japanese religions, emphasize that not only individuals but also groups have their own spirit (numen) which is connected to the ultimate reality. The framework of concentric circles lets moral agents apply different ethical rules to the respective circles. The dynamics of these religious and social dimensions lead to a different view of both individuals and corporations from that dominant in the West.
