1 Lisa Maria Herzog Institut für Sozialforschung Senckenberganlage 26, Frankfurt am Main, Germany (September 2013) Areas of research Political theory, philosophical foundations of economics, moral philosophy, business ethics, Adam Smith, Hegel and German Idealism My current book project is provisionally entitled Reclaiming the systems. Moral and political practices in complex organizations. Based on the assumption that many moral ills are caused not by individuals evil intentions, but by organizational failures, I explore the conditions of individual agency in complex organisations, integrating a number of discourses in moral and political philosophy, but also empirical research (qualitative interviews). The book turns around themes such as the relation between private self and professional role, responsible handling of information, the responsibility for a culture in which moral concerns can be raised, and more generally our understanding of the relation between individuals and society and the meso-level of organizational structures. Chapter drafts (at working paper stage) include Self and Professional Role from a moral perspective, The moral dimensions of knowledge in complex organizations, Organizational slopes and the responsibility for a culture. My research project in Frankfurt, which partly overlaps with the book project, is an in-depth case study of the possibilities and limits of ethical finance. For this purpose I work with a bank that has previously been active in microfinance and is now mainly active in lending to SMEs and offering saving accounts in emerging economies in Latin America, Africa, and Eastern Europe, with an explicit commitment to ethical values and social impact. My focus is on exploring the ways in which this organization has built its culture, what specific constraints it encounters in the financial sector, and what role globally active organizations such as these can play for global justice.
