About
This seminar focuses on an examination of the general values rooted in Western man's view of the universe and the human condition with the purpose of gaining an understanding of the underlying and basic forces that have fostered and shaped the business society with its inherent material success and secular problems. The business firm is seen as drawing its energy and discipline from the perfectibility-of-man doctrine of 18th century philosophy. Emphasis is placed on recent attempts to redefine the perfectibility-of-man ideal and what this way portend for administrative perspective, the business organization, and the bourgeois society.
