Recenzje

’This is a terrific book that makes Heidegger relevant to management theorists.’ R. Edward Freeman, University of Virginia, USA ’Philosophy still matters for management and Steven Segal’s book makes this point clear. Philosophy provides an informed, reflective, and intelligent way to interrogate, evaluate and change one’s practices. As you read this book just let it disrupt you; let it guide you to live philosophically as a practically wise manager, let it open you to understand and welcome your own anxieties about your practice. Wise practice starts with understanding the difficult things in life rather than shying away from them. We all need help and guidance to do this and Segal has much to offer in this regard.’ David Rooney, Macquarie University, Australia
