Ethics is not just a philosophical field; It can also be studied empirically, with the study, for example, what types of ethical beliefs humans actually have or on what kind of ethical behavior companies have in fact. Westermarck was one of the early researchers who studied empirical ethics (see, for example, Westermarck 1891). Such an empirical study is called a descriptive ethic and is an important part of ethics. However, ethical notions change in a historical way and new applications result in meaningful changes in an independent way, whether we are inventing it or not. The empirical study provides information on factual changes in opinions, but in addition to such an empirical study, there is also a historical study of the modifications of the ethical concepts that characterizes the modifications made to the conceptive band. Therefore, in addition to the historical empirical study, the historical conceptual study of business ethics should be linked to an appropriate philosophical study.

In business ethics, there is and should be both philosophical and empirical. They should not be separated but should go hand in hand. The responsibility of society in particular is a subject of central importance and extreme complexity. The notion of responsibility has its roots in a profound philosophical and practical history. An actor is responsible for his actions because it causes consequences of acts. The notion of cause here is an example of a notion of causal manipulative (von Wright 1971, Woodward 2002), which is connected to the legal concept of guilt (von Wright 1971, 65). This shows how deeply our ethical notions are related to practical notions, making the philosophical study a necessary part of business ethics.
