Rezensionen

'This is an inspired collection that revitalizes and re-imagines philosophical engagement in organization studies. I would challenge anyone to come away from reading it without being surprised, challenged, and stimulated.' - Andrew Crane, George R. Gardiner Professor of Business Ethics, York University, Canada

'Mir, Willmott and Greenwood have assembled leading scholars to provide a much needed in-depth exploration of the philosophical foundations of organization studies. It is an essential read for students and academics who want to understand how philosophy is elemental to the field.' - Stella Nkomo, University of Pretoria, South Africa

'One might ask why philosophy should play any role in conducting research in organization studies. This new and beautifully orchestrated collection reflects most facets of organizational life, and includes topics ranging from the philosophical foundations of organizational studies to the reality of inequality in organizations. As one reads through the collection, however, one understands why the question could never be whether philosophy should play a role, but given the many roles it does play, covertly and overtly, whether those roles deserve examination. The talented and well-respected editors of this volume make clear that the answer is "yes." - Thomas Donaldson, University of Pennsylvania, USA

'The collection of topics, the extent of coverage, and the theoretical reach in this text are clear indications of a substantial scholarly achievement in this new text. The book is intended to provide a reference for students and academics, and it is likely to have relevance and a useful shelf life akin to, for example, the major Handbooks in micro- and macro-organizational behavior... there can be no question that this text is a highly valuable contribution to the scholarship in the field of OS.' - K Peter Kuchinke, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA, Management Learning
