Sažetak
Croatian high education concerning economic sciences, especially in the level of private educative institutions is not randomized in its approach and concept, as well. Popular concept of teaching economics in the institutions specialized for certain area of economy, e.g. business and management oversee need for ethical solutions in resolving crucial economic issues. As relatively new discipline mainly studied in the faculties of economics and in business schools in Croatia, business ethics is not accepted yet as serious subject of matter. One of the main reasons is that students are used to think of business ethics as of a barrier in realizing business projects focused on a profit. In their intellectual manner of thinking and acting in practice, students behave according to what M. Twain has once said: “Running business being honest only if we mast to, but dishonest if we can.” In that way, business became synonym for the notion of the choice between moral and non-moral economic performances. Elaboration I want to present here is a result of my personal practice in teaching business ethics at high educative institution. I want to show here why contemporary economy failed out in its theory and practice. My conclusion I want to bring out here is that economy needs to be reformulated in its basic axioms formed by ‘big’ names in the field of economy, such as Aristotle, A. Smith, D. Hume, J. M. Keynes and the like. The structure of the elaboration includes two parts: the content of the first part includes analysis of the main economic theories in the perspective of philosophical thinking and the second part of this elaboration will be oriented more on the didactic aspect of the philosophical reflections in the economic practice. The literature I have being investigating and consulting for this elaboration concerning the newest edition of the economic handbooks published in the Croatian speaking area and signed by different experts in the field of business, management and project development.
