Nietzschean dissolution of the individual: foundations and implications for organisation theory
Résumé
Organisation theory mobilizes fundamental notions such as the individual in order to understand and explain the organizational phenomena it studies. However, this mobilization is sometimes done without ever proceeding to a radical critical work in the Nietzschean sense of the foundations of this notion. By using the Nietzschean conception of the individual, the objective of this paper is precisely to expose the unthinkings that underlie the notion of the individual in order to draw out the contributions and implications for organization theory. In this paper, we argue that the Nietzschean critique of the individual is an invitation for organization theory research to consider every individual as embodying a plural identity.
