Philosophie et Société en France aujourd’hui

MPP SEMINAR SERIES - Spring 2010

Theme: Philosophies of Management - perspectives on action in contemporary thought

22 April 15:00-17:00

Professor Francois Dosse

Philosophie et Société en France aujourd’hui (Philosophy and Society in France today)

Francois Dosse is one of leading historians of contemporary French philosophy. Amongst his first contribution is a two volume work on the French structuralist and poststructuralist philosophers. He then published several philosophical biographies of e.g. Michel de Certeau, Paul Ricoeur and, most recently, Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari. In the book “The Empire of Meaning” he poses the much relevant question; what comes after post-structuralism? In this volume Dosse offers a challenging overview of actual tendencies in social philosophy that indicate how studies of organizations, technology and management (of kind practiced e.g. at CBS) have turned into sources of inspiration for innovative attempts to break out of the theoretical anti-humanism of the end of last century. How could management research influence philosophy?

The lecture will be given in French.
