What is The Oxford Handbook of Process Philosophy and Organization Studies (Oxford Handbooks) about?

This book examines process philosophy in organization studies by focusing on the life and work of a specific philosopher such as Jacques Derrida, Zhuang Zi, Baruch Spinoza, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, Wilhelm Dilthey, Charles Sanders Peirce, William James, Gabriel Tarde, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Henri Bergson. It looks at process from five different aspects—temporality, wholeness, openness and the open self, force, and potentiality—that all touch on emerging concerns in organization studies. Each chapter considers how a philosopher’s work could potentially be useful for thinking processually in organization and management studies. Viewing process philosophy as a way of thinking rather than as a specific theory to be used, the book explores how philosophers might make us see things anew. For example, it discusses Daodejing, a compilation of sayings by Laozi, as well as Heraclitus’ philosophy and its inspirations for process thinking in organization studies. In addition, it analyzes the link between process and reality.
