Embodied Responsive Ethical Practice The Contribution of Merleau-Ponty for a Corporeal Ethics in Organizations
Abstract
Following a phenomenological
understanding of the body and
embodiment, this paper explores
corporeal ethics as a practice
in organisations. With the
phenomenology of Merleau-Ponty,
bodily dimensions and enfleshed
intercorporeality are seen as media
for ethically enacted and morally
responsive, thus responsible forms
of practicing and relationships. Then
the article discusses specific forms
of responsive and caring practices as
well as the ethical relevance of bodies
at work in organisations. Finally,
practical, political, and theoretical
implications are offered and
perspectives for further investigating
and incorporating practicing of ethics
in organisations are outlined.
