Responsibility for managing values. The metaethical dilemma between normative absolutism and relativism

Jan Franciszek Jacko

Abstrak

This investigation discusses the implications of the two most fundamental counter-assumptions of axiology – normative relativism and anti-relativism (absolutism) – for managing values in the process of responsible research and innovation. The study aims to show how these premises determine the goals and means of this practice. The study argues that these premises lead to fundamentally different conceptions of responsibility, with implications for how they are integrated and operationalised in organisational contexts. The study also seeks to open a metaethical perspective to investigate the normative assumptions of managing values further, thereby exploring the interdependence between value concepts and responsible research and innovation. Furthermore, this research shows how philosophical perspectives enhance communication within value management by revealing its underlying normative assumptions. The study is conceptual, and its method is analytical.
