An Epistemic Analysis of (Un)Sustainable Business

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Michel Foucault famously analysed orders of knowledge, ‘epistemes’, in past European ages. In this study, his analytical method is fruitfully applied to gaining a better understanding of business sustainability within and beyond the Modern episteme. After an introduction to the contextual background for the study, this article provides (i) a justification for the use of a Foucauldian epistemic analytical method, (ii) an outline of the method, (iii) an application of the method to identify four sets of questions (morality, specialisation, anthropologization and mathematicization) that are both direct derivatives of the Modern episteme and problematic for sustainable development, and finally (iv) an application of the method to consider evidence for the emergence of a new episteme. Conclusions are also provided.

Intrinsic Sustainable Development -Epistemes, Sience, Business and Sustainability
- 2012

Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Sustainable development sets the agenda for the 21st century. Human technological capability and needs mean that nature is and will be challenged and damaged in many ways. Whilst many social and technological innovations are being made to improve our survival prospects, they are likely to be insufficient to avoid continued social and ecological stress and the prospect of global tension if significant changes do not come about. The ideas in this book offer a new solution to sustainable development problems. They are concerned not with what we know but how we know, or rather how we order knowledge and create understanding in the human world. This book shows that some of the fundamental practices that shape modern society, especially in the business world, are the unwitting cause of unsustainable development. By extrapolating the epistemic analysis of Michel Foucault, a major social scientist, this book identifies a new episteme. It outlines a new way of ordering knowledge that better serves sustainable development. This pioneering book synthesizes the sciences of human and natural worlds and applies the findings to the creation of sustainable business models and equitable lifestyles for all.

The relevance of epistemic analysis to sustainability economics and the capability approach
- 2013

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper considers how epistemic analyses (Birkin and Polesie, 2011; Foucault, 1970, 1990a, 1990b) may assist with the development of sustainability economics (Bartelmus, 2010; Baumgartner and Quaas, 2010a, 2010b; and Soderbaum, 2011) and the capability approach (Ballet et al., 2011; Martins, 2011; Rauschmayer and Lessmann, 2011; Scerri, 2012). It was the French social theorist Michel Foucault (1926-1984) who coined the term "episteme" to refer to the "possibility of knowledge" that determines the development of thought and knowledge in a given period. For Foucault epistemes were the "buried" foundations of knowledge that his epistemic "archaeology" could unearth. In 2007, Foucault was identified as the most cited author of books in the humanities by Thomson Reuters' ISI Web of Science. This paper begins with a brief definition and description of epistemic analyses. A summary analysis of the Modern episteme and neoclassical economics is then provided and this is followed by outline evidence for the emerging episteme. Finally the opportunity is considered for the emerging episteme to reinforce and enhance sustainability economics and the capability approach. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
