Hacia una filosofía de la administración centrada en el carácter
Towards a Character Centered Philosophy of Management
Abstract
This essay explores the relationship between philosophy and management. It defines philosophy according to several contemporary authors, as a critical attitude, systematic questioning, search for truth and epistemological conceptualization. It finds that philosophy serves to evaluate ethical and moral positions, make rational decisions, and it is used for interdisciplinary dialogue. It highlights the contribution of some philosophers to management and sheds light on the exercise of philosophy by the fathers of management. It shows that the link between philosophy and management has not been broken, presenting two cases of Colombian authors who combine these disciplines and highlighting the proposal of training in administration from philosophy, both epistemologically and methodologically. It concludes by recognizing the need to form the character of managers, and proposing stoicism for the achievement of personal resilience, and recommends the research on the philosophy of management for interdisciplinary strengthening.
