This paper attempts to analyze the concept of business ethics from the standpoint of ethics. Although ethics is a branch of philosophy, this is a truth little understood in our time but is very essential in the study of business ethics and corporate social responsibility. This paper discusses the importance of ethical thinking in business ethics study in Japan. First, I define ethical thinking as critical thinking and philosophical reflection. Second, although recent ethics is categorized into two types, negative injunction and affirmative duties, I classify affirmative duties into two more categories, ethics for decision-making and professional virtue ethics. Lastly, I apply John Rawls's decision-making method to ethical thinking. On these grounds I have come to the conclusion that the conceptual study of ethics is indispensable to recent business ethics study in Japan.
