I've read a little bit of philosophy but nothing too serious (mostly Alain de Botton and Richard Dawkins) which I intend to change having listened to you.
From a practical perspective I do have a general interest in business ethics - is there any reading that you can recommend that would be a good introduction to the area?

I'll have a look and let you know what I find out.
Interestingly I work for a large multinational defence and security company - (no names, no pack drill). They are very hot on the ethics of business conduct but not so much on the ehtics of the industry.
We tout ourselves as a very ethical company but I'm not so sure ...
Ha ha--good one, Treejag!
Or were you not trying to be funny?
I have no respect for S Law as a "philosopher" when he includes homeopathy in his "black hole" thinking category, when he, like yourself, is merely repeating what has been spoon fed to him through the media i.e. by the pharma drug cartel via their "scientist" spokesmen.
It is of course pathetic science to deny and refuse to investigate fairly, something that consistently produces wonderful true healing results as homeopathy does, but pharma drug money and their self-interested spokespeople, plus hidebound scientific "thinking", keeps this from happening.
If Law was fairer with his examples of "black hole", closed thinking, then he would have surely included the giving of billions of pounds worth of pharma drugs, forever resulting in side-effects aka more illness, to the desperate detriment to the health of mankind, i.e. how absurd is it to allow pharma drugs to be associated with anything denoting real medicine?
As for "How or why he calls himself a philosopher I'm not quite sure" How does holding a doctorate in philosophy from Oxford, being a senior lecturer in Philosophy at Heythrop College, University of London (a specialist college for philosophy and theology), being regularly published in academic philosophy journals as well as a bestselling and prize winning author of 'popular' philosophy, being the editor Think journal (which is published by the royal institute of philosophy, and being provost for the Centre for Inquiry UK, suffice?
