Summary, in English

What does it mean to approach the task of sketching a philosophy of entrepreneurship as if such a philosophy is needed and doable? At a minimum it would need to mean that such a task is inscribed in a genealogy of pursuits that lend to it a shimmer of legitimacy and potentiality. Previous efforts, similar in kind, suggest that attending to the philosophical issues that are immanent to the what-and how-questions and problems dealt with within a particular ‘discipline’ represents an important learning per se. We thus have philosophies of management (a journal published by Libri Publishing; books, e.g. Sheldon and Thompson 2003; conferences in 2012 organized by St Anne’s College in Oxford), philosophies of organization (Koslowski 2010; Krijnen and Kee 2009; Spoelstra 2007) and of leadership (a topic that includes Socratic parrhesia; Augustinian Confessions; Machiavelli’s The Prince; as well as recent and much more instrumental guides to how to motivate your employees). In addition, we have philosophy and books, such as Philosophy and Organization (Jones and ten Bos 2007).
