Abstract
Artists have unique characteristics and processes for creating their aesthetic. Whether it is painting, poetry or dancing, there is a special way of perceiving and interacting with the world. In contrast to the well-known rational approach to ethical decision-making, this essay suggests that the characteristics and processes of artists are also important for making ethical choices in business. Being present in the moment, having a holistic view of the situation with passion and emotion, habits of practice and the virtue of courage allow for more complete and meaningful ethical decisions.
