Abstract
This paper is in two parts. Part I discusses three issues pertaining to the introduction and development of philosophical aesthetics for organization theory. First, aesthetic concepts are shown to be apposite in form to concepts in organization theory. Second, two senses are distinguished in which aesthetic concepts might provide insight into issues in organization theory. Third, several questions are discussed pertaining to the effects of doctrinal accuracy on the application of aesthetics to organization theory. Part II illustrates the potential applicability of aesthetics by outlining the position on the nature of beauty developed by Immanuel Kant in the Critique of Judgment. This position is briefly sketched and then applied to selected problems and issues in organization theory.
