Management and organization studies (MOS) scholarship is at a crossroads. The grand challenges (such as the climate emergency) humankind must face today require an improved contribution from all knowledge fields. The number of academics who criticize the lack of influence and social impact of MOS has recently grown. The scientific field structure of MOS is based on its members’ accumulation of symbolic capital. This structure hinders speaking truth to the elite dominating neoliberal society. Our literature review suggested that a deeper (...) interaction between MOS and philosophy could aid in improving the social impact of MOS. Specifically, an attitude by MOS scholars based on parrhesia (παρρησíα, to speak truth to power) could revitalize the field through heterodox approaches and, consequently, allow them to utter sound criticisms of the capitalist system. Parrhesia would lead MOS scholars towards a convergence of ethics and politics. We investigate whether daring to speak inconvenient truths to the powerful (some peers in the field and some individuals and corporations in society) can be a straightforward tool for revitalizing MOS. Boosting a candid philosophy-MOS interaction requires the fulfilment of three objectives: practical dialogue between these fields, reconsideration of the fields’ structures based on symbolic capital, and a post-disciplinary approach to philosophy. That fulfilment implies the delimitation of the MOS-philosophy interaction, a respectful mutual framework, mutual curiosity, and moving from prescriptive theoretical reflection towards more socially useful MOS. Ethical betterment through parrhesia could be the key to surpassing MOS stagnation. (shrink)

Grecia creó la filosofía en la polis, produciendo una forma de vivir y convirtiéndose en centro de referencia. La sociedad actual ha modificado los modos de vida y convivencia, lo que podría modificar la función de la filosofía. El trato con los otros repercute en la vida de los ciudadanos. Igualmente, la tecnología facilita hoy nuestro habitar en el mundo y la presencia de la diversidad cultural en una sociedad globalizada plantea si podemos vivir en una comunidad libre y justa, (...) que alumbraron los griegos. Se presenta un ejemplo para llevar al aula estas ideas desde la práctica filosófica. (shrink)

El carácter de circunstancialidad es reconocido por el propio Ortega para su obra que aparece en el entorno de los ideólogos del 98, a la cabeza de los cuales se alza Unamuno. Sin el ambiente de la España del 98, Ortega sería un imposible histórico. Sólo desde ese marco puede explicarse en Ortega el proceso ascendente de su secularización desde el primer momento, que culminará en su laguna respecto a la teodicea, su helado teísmo, como una reacción por rechazo de (...) la mística unamuniana y su orgulloso yo, que intenta sobresalir incluso sobre Unamuno mismo.

This paper examines undergraduate business students' perception of corporate social responsibility in cases in which they have not attended any specific course either dealing with CSR or providing training in ethics. A survey was conducted of 535 Spanish business students as future managers. The results show that the stakeholders' perspective deserves a huge attention for those students considering what the keys of business success are. Significant differences in perception were nevertheless identified when a multifactorial analysis was undertaken. Female students are (...) more concerned about CSR issues. The maximization of value for shareholders is less valued by second- and third-year students than by first-year ones. The findings point to a number of important orientations for the future development of university curriculum. (shrink)
