The book explores diverse processes of change across evolution, learning, language, self-identity, and ethics, employing a realistic framework inspired by pragmatic philosophers such as Dewey, Nietzsche, Wittgenstein, and Heidegger. It integrates insights from various disciplines, including economics, sociology, anthropology, and social psychology, to provide a comprehensive analysis of how these changes impact individuals and society.
Exploring the dynamic perspective of existence as a process, this book surveys 'continental' philosophy, particularly the influential 20th-century French thought. It addresses fundamental questions while integrating concepts from earlier works on knowledge, language, ethics, existence, and society. Written in an accessible style without jargon, it aims to engage a broad intellectual audience through clear illustrations and straightforward arguments, making complex philosophical ideas approachable for readers.
This Element studies the development of salient ideas and publications on dynamic capabilities, extended by ideas outside the literature of strategic management. Dynamic capability is presented as an interdisciplinary subject to which knowledge is central.
