Are platonian and aristotlean philosophy a bane or a boon as far as management science like construction management concerned?
All knowledge has value but not all philosophy. I believe it is valuable to seek parallel technologies outside of one's own field of expertise and assess them for possible adaptation to current problems.
There are many relevant perspectives both in Aristotelian and Platonian philosophy. Examples can be: What is trust? What use are words? What is ethically good? What is practical wisdom? ... Safeer Ali
The key is to put the many accurate and inspiring reflections in to a relevant context. Aristotelian and Platonian philosophy can also be utterly irrelevant.
This is an unusual and puzzling question. First of all, I would be curious to understand if you have a case story to support this hypothesis, or which idea you have of its possible use. Having said that, well a good deal of knowledge is never useless, and philosophy stands among the most widely useful. However I wonder why only ancient Greek philosophy (I imagine you refer to Gorgia, Pitagora, Heraclitus, Plato and Aristotle at least), but why not the renaissance philosophy of science (Galileo, Descartes etc)?
Massim Sir,
