Abstract
Humanism places the person at the origin, the center and the end of society and of every activity within it. A comprehensive view of the human being and the centrality of the person, which characterizes humanism, can make a valuable contribution to our society and, in particular, to the economic and business world. Humanism proposed by the Catholic tradition sees the person as a perfectible being, called to self-development. This calling makes full sense within a transcendent humanism, which gives to man his greatest possible perfection. Humanism challenges economic and business activity and their management. In the last part, the editors explain the structure of this book and introduce the authors of this collective work and their respective contributions.
