The paper argues that the corporate rationality is essentially delinking of the cognitive-existential integrality and hence ethically threatening. The examination is inspired by Gadamer's critique of the Kantian rule-bound, axiomatic morality from the perspectives of the classical Roman idea of sensuscommunis (inherent in which is the idea of good or social solidarity) and the Aristotelian ethics. Gadamer's critique is insightful in analyzing the nature of agency in the corporate domain and its moral implications. Against the backdrop of this moral discourse, the paper concedes that the detached, theoretical corporate functioning is abortive of the sense of good defying compensation even in the idea of corporate social responsibility in which we generally capture the essence of corporate ethics and its existential concerns.Keywords
