Abstract
Ed Freeman’s “integrative revolution” was launched in the 2007 EEUU national meeting of the Academy of Management. He proposed to start by studying how real persons are and settled three points: (1) the integration thesis; (2) the responsibility principle; and (3) the open question argument. In this article I will center my study through the Aristotelian approach in the first person, the acting person, and I will develop the following thesis. (1) The integration thesis. We, first all, are zoon politikon, i.e., we are not autonomous entities, and then social. With this expression I indicate that the person’s essential openness to her fellow people by means of society and culture. Thus every individual action is social and has a cultural significance.(2) The responsibility principle. In every society we have different possibilities of action, and ethics in its Aristotelian expression is about what life is worth living (eudaimonia). (3) The open question argument. As In ancient Greek to live the good life was only possible in big cities nowadays the question is if we want to live a proper life (eudaimonia) we have to ask ourselves what is the good firm to work with (eupraxia)
