"Diverse philosophies constitute the theoretical ground of the study of the aesthetic side of organization. In fact, there is not a single unique philosophy behind the organizational research of the aesthetic dimension of organizational life. Organizational Theory and Aesthetic Philosophies will illustrate and discuss this complex phenomenon, and it will be dedicated to highlight the philosophical basis of the study of aesthetics, art and design in organization.

The book distinguishes three principal ""philosophical sensibilities"" amongst these philosophies: aesthetic, hermeneutic and performative philosophical sensibility. Each of them is described and critically assessed through the work of philosophers, art theorists, sociologists and social scientists who represent its main protagonists. In this way, the reader will be conducted through the variety of philosophies that constitute a reference for aesthetics and design in organization.

The architecture of the book is articulated in two parts in order to provide student and scholars in philosophical aesthetics, in art, in design and in organization studies with an informative and agile instrument for academic research and study."

Reviews for Organizational Theory and Aesthetic Philosophies

The gentle way this book talks to us hints at the potential role of education in furthering the philosophical aesthetics of organizing. This kind of aesthetics philosophy, one more as education and practice than as research and theory, is what emerges forcefully from the friendly reunion of Dr. Strati with Mr. Antonio. --Pierre Guillet de Monthoux, Stockholm School of Economics, Sweden, published in Organization Studies Good books often offer no more than a single deep insight. Excellent books offer multiple insights, and great ones many more. By that standard, Strati's little book (only 181 pages, including index) is excellent. --Paul C. Godfrey, Brigham Young University, USA, published in Administrative Science Quarterly
