DESCRIPTION
This course explores the evolution of entrepreneurial thought through the lens of philosophy, tracing the journey from ancient perspectives on purpose and ethics to contemporary theories on innovation, leadership, and societal impact. By examining the works of influential thinkers such as Aristotle, Machiavelli, Adam Smith, Joseph Schumpeter, and modern visionaries like Yuval Noah Harari, students will gain a profound understanding of how philosophical ideas shape and challenge the entrepreneurial spirit. This course emphasizes critical thinking, self-reflection, and the ability to challenge established norms, encouraging students to develop their own unique entrepreneurial philosophies.
The course is designed to bridge theoretical insights with practical applications, using real-world examples and case studies to illuminate the dynamic interplay between philosophical concepts and entrepreneurial practice. Students will engage in lively discussions, analyze historical and contemporary business practices, and confront the ethical and societal implications of entrepreneurship in a rapidly evolving global economy. The goal of this course is to equip students with the intellectual tools to think deeply and act boldly, fostering innovation and resilience in their entrepreneurial pursuits.
