Abstract

Holistic approaches represent the main shift from individual liberty to corporativeness. In this shift we find the new living conditions for the individual, which are provided by the corporate collective. In this context the question raised by Olli Loukola is fundamental: ‘If individual liberty is the fundamental value, how far are we to go in defending and promoting it (or to put it in libertarian terms: to what extent are we to leave individuals free to practice their liberty?)?’445 In other words, to what extent are we to leave individuals free to practise their liberty regardless of the framework of corporate life politics and ideology? If individual liberty is the fundamental value on a macro level, then it has to be the same on a meso level as well. In this case, how far are we to go in defending and promoting individual liberty to transgress holistic corporate life politics and ideology? Can a whistle-blower be the singular individual employee, whose personal moral value is independent of corporate culture?
