The Idea of Beginning in Jules Lequier's Philosophy
The Idea of Beginning in Jules Lequier's Philosophy analyzes the work of an author mostly unknown in Anglophone countries, but who greatly influenced the trajectory of French philosophy over the last two centuries. Jules Lequier, in The Search for a First Truth, argues that beginning such a search is the goal towards which philosophy must tend. To achieve this, Lequier established a postulate, that of freedom against necessity, and set out a program as an inaugural gesture: “TO MAKE, not to become, but to make, and, in making, TO MAKE ONESELF.” By the fertility of possible beginnings, the making in Lequier is always first and radical. As Ghislain Deslandes reveals in this exploration of Lequier’s work, that something new is possible in philosophy after all, and that it should even be possible to invent it in other fields, applying the principle that "everything is to be relearned, and started again, but in another truth." Deslandes explores parallels between the “classical” antiphilosophers Pascal and Kierkegaard and Lequier, whose importance to French philosophy is today better documented and more widely recognized.
Humanities and Organizations in Dialogue
Administrative practice and science are currently undergoing a profound reassessment. The terms "stress", "burn-out", or "meaningless jobs" give us an idea of the reasons why the commitment to work is at half-mast today, which is rather worrying for the economic development itself. Faced with the added complexity of various technological, environmental, and geopolitical disruptions, managers are ultimately called upon to completely reinvent the way they work and think. In an attempt to transform our conception of management, the method proposed in Humanities and Organizations in Dialogue: Hermeneutic Inquiries is based on the study of contemporary humanities. Consequently, Ghislain Deslandes comments on numerous essays to provide managers with a unique way of understanding what is happening. The approach reintroduces a measure of philosophical reflexivity into a world where it is all too often absent, in order to understand business administration with new perspectives and new tools, especially in terms of language. It also seeks to better understand how managers should respond, with subtlety and tact, to the socio-economic and environmental challenges facing organizations.
Postcritical Management Studies
This book is the first of its kind to offer a new definition of contemporary management. It uses Henrys philosophy and takes the real, sensitive and pathetic subjectivity of individuals as the starting point of the analysis as opposed to the usual large categories of representations; resources; images; and discourses. This book thus proposes to rethink management by insisting on the dialectic of strength and vulnerability; its power of constraint, imitation and imagination; and finally its framework of action situated in a fourfold concern for the self, for people, for institutions and for the environment. These different notions are useful in order to experience a deeper understanding of management that is free from the obsolescence of the distant recommendations of ancient protomanagement and the outdated and dubious prescriptions of the so-called scientific management.
Antiphilosophy of Christianity
This text presents and addresses the philosophical movement of antiphilosophy working thru the texts of Christian thinkers such as Pascal and Kierkegaard. The author as influenced by Alain Badiou, portrays these Christian thinkers as of a subjective dimension negating the possibility of an objective quest for truth. The claim here is that antiphilosophy is abundant in the eyes of these two thinkers who frame the thought event as represented by Christianity, ultimately resigning itself to more or less the opposite of philosophy itself. Readers will discover why philosophical reason should never be convinced by that which denies its very authority. Subjecting faith to the perils of philosophical analysis, confronting the philosophical tradition with the truth of the Christian faith, and occupying the space between the two: such are the challenges facing an antiphilosophy of Christianity. This text will appeal to researchers and students working in continental philosophy, philosophy of religion and those in religious studies who want to investigate the links between Christianity and antiphilosophy.
Le management éthique
Dans la droite ligne de la responsabilité sociale de l'entreprise (RSE), l'auteur se propose d'aborder la question de l'éthique sous l'angle managérial. En effet, les managers sont de plus en plus confrontés à des choix qui, outre la responsabilité sociale de leur entreprise, engagent leur éthique et leur déontologie personnelles. Le "souci de soi", le "souci de l'autre" et le "souci institutionnel" s'inscrivent au coeur de l'activité managériale. En alliant raisonnement théorique et mises en situation concrètes, cet ouvrage synthétique et précis couvre un sujet de plus en plus intégré au cursus du futur manager. Il s'adresse à tous ceux qui se préparent à être confrontés aux questions de responsabilité au travail, tant du point de vue personnel que corporate.
Érotique de l’administration
Assiste-t-on à ce qu’il faudrait appeler la fin du management ? Le désaveu qui le frappe ne cesse de s’intensifier en effet, jusqu’au phénomène de démission massive qui s’est produit dans le monde durant la période pandémique. Or ce que cette actualité met en évidence, ce n’est pas la fin-terme mais la fin-but, c’est-à-dire le déploiement de nouvelles aspirations et de nouvelles finalités : le management ne peut plus reposer sur un projet techno-scientifique se focalisant seulement sur l’utilisation systémique de « ressources », mais doit aussi compter sur une exigence éthique où prime le circuit des affects. Cette mutation profonde sonne comme une tâche pour la philosophie, afin de ne plus concevoir le management comme une science prédictive sur le mode de l’objet, mais pour revenir à la réalité même des acteurs et de leurs besoins. Une telle tâche passe par un renouvellement du langage managérial traditionnel dessinant les contours d’une érotique de l’administration.
Judgment and Strategy
This book re-orients our thinking about strategy away from its being a mode of control and towards its being one of self awareness. The author defines strategic inquiry as the undertaking of successive attempts to present an organization to itself and others. This, the book argues, is an activity of judgment, not decision.
Critique de la condition managériale
En sciences de gestion sont généralement privilégiées les études de « visibilité » : les enquêtes où il s’agit de voir, de comparer les données... Il ne s’agit à aucun moment de s’interroger sur ce qui constitue ce que nous sommes effectivement. L’arrière-plan anthropologique du management paraît absent, pensé à partir de l’homme représenté à l’aide de statistiques et d’outils de mesure. La subjectivité vivante en tant que telle brille par son absence.La première partie de l’ouvrage réinvestit le champ de la réflexion philosophique pour définir le protomanagement antique et ses aspects techniques, scientifiques, pratiques, éthiques et politiques. Dans...
