Research priorities

Dierksmeier researches and teaches economic and political philosophy as well as globalization ethics . One of his main areas of interest is the concept of humanistic management , which he has helped shape through numerous publications and editorships. This theory criticizes what they consider to be a mechanistic conception of man in neoclassical economics and calls for a reorientation towards a humanistic management theory and practice.

For Dierksmeier, the basis of such a humanistic approach is the theory of qualitative freedom he developed . This theory rejects the classic distinction between positive and negative freedom . Instead, it traces the history of ideas about freedom along the lines of the distinction between quantitative and qualitative freedom. Accordingly, concepts of freedom are quantitative, the main aim of which is to maximize the number of options for action by individuals; Qualitative drafts of freedom, on the other hand, are based on a (to be carried out freely) different evaluation of various options, which results in the priority of certain freedoms over others. Since read culturally different freedoms and may precipitate company specifically different , the approach is qualitative freedom of open society differentiated to society Freiheitsverständnisse, provided they are based on a liberal process concluded.
