Abstract

ResumenEl presente artículo es el primero de una serie de documentos que tienen por objeto identificar elparadigma antropológico sobre el cual se ha construido el pensamiento administrativo, y su impactoen las prácticas administrativas contemporáneas. Para ello se parte de una perspectiva histórica,examinando las distintas concepciones que se han tenido acerca del hombre, y de qué modo ellashan influido el discurso y la práctica de la gestión. La investigación pretende averiguar si es cierta lahipótesis según la cual durante los últimos siglos habría tenido lugar un proceso de instrumentalizaciónde la razón que ha concebido al hombre como un medio para el cumplimiento de fines, principalmenteeconómicos, y el surgimiento de la administración sería una manifestación de dicho proceso.Este artículo se concentra en el estudio de las concepciones griegas a propósito del hombre.THE IDEAS ABOUT MAN IN ANCIENT GREECEAbstractThis article is the first of a series of documents that aim at identifying the anthropological paradigmupon which managerial thinking has been built as well as its effect on contemporary administrativepractices. To do so, we start from a historical perspective, by examining the different beliefs on manand work, and how the have exerted a major influence on the theory and practice of management.This research also aims at finding out whether the hypothesis that states that during the last centuriesa process of instrumentalization of reason has conceived man as a means to meet ends - mainlyeconomic ones - is, indeed, true. Also, this research tries to determine whether the upsurge of managementwould be a manifestation of such process.
