Replying to LO26923 --
Dear Barry,
Thanks for some philosophical insights.
There are two kind of man at least. While Heinz or Kant was amazed with
stars in the night sky, Hegel or Panofsky was unconcerned at them all.
In this metaphor of rock for 'organizations', I admired the people who
dare to throw the rocks( no matter for exercise or for 'justice') and I
don't like many stories beneath it.
'Character' is a key word , even for deep play of life. The stories I
recounted were listed in some books as' examples' of 'organizational
learning' and 'organizational innovations'. I even worked for one of them
and think DuPont is a nice company. Unfortunately, most people over there
don't like to think your rocks, they believe the 'miracles' of science. I
like science, but I don't know they know the miracles beneath the rocks.
I like to thank for your reminding to look for some 'dimensions' of the
worlds of 'underneath the rocks'. Perhaps some books should address them.
Sincerely,
Hanching Chung
