Abstract
The purpose of this paper, from the genealogy of business ethics, is to document the thesis that argues that the idea of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and its development arise in the capitalist context of a resentment of a weak society that incarnate the Nietzschean figure of the ascetic priest. The paper is divided into 5 parts: the first part begins with a review of business ethics and Corporate Social Responsibility as its origin; in the second part, the main critique to CRS is reconstructed; in the third part, genealogy of business ethics is exposed and it is argued that resentment is the ideological foundation of CSR. The fourth part shows how the theoretician in business ethics embodies the Nietzschean figure of the ascetic priest and business ethics has been founded on the ascetic ideals that the ascetic priest preaches. The last part, presents a section of conclusions.
