Abstract

The Philosophy in Management Practice and Education section focuses on philosophical processes for reflective and reflexive practice. The introduction is written from a Heideggerian practice perspective, as Heidegger allows us to engage, reflect, and be reflexive in relation to the particular professional world that we inhabit. His thinking provides an overarching framework that brings out the way in which a range of philosophies can be articulated as philosophical processes for being reflective and reflexive. The chapters of this section develop frameworks for being reflective and reflexive in different contexts, using the works of a range of philosophers.
