GARCIA GARCIA, Jorge Armando  and  VELEZ SALAMANCA, Juan Andrés. Contribution, impact and reflections of the philosophy in administrative management. A documentary reflection. Vis. futuro [online]. 2024, vol.28, n.1, pp.106-126. ISSN 1668-8708.

This article considers and is proposed as a reflection with which it is intended to establish a relationship between the different schools and philosophical thoughts, and their impact on administrative science. Methodologically, it starts from a review of the literature related to the different postulates presented in the different philosophical schools over time, building a temporary conceptual framework and raising reflections in the light of administrative, strategic, and current managers. This historical tour of philosophy is structured from the different philosophical eras divided into four moments: ancient times, up to 430 d. c.; Medieval times, from 430 AD. C. until 1453; from 1453 to the second industrial revolution (1914) and contemporary times, from 1914 to today. In this way, the document reflects a thread of thought of the different positions and thoughts of representative authors according to the distribution described and immediately afterwards the reflection on the administrative elements that reflect this line of thought. Administration, therefore, has not had an unequivocal definition, but the philosophy and thought of great figures have provided it, throughout history, and the epistemological foundations allow it to contribute to becoming what it is today: a science. reflective, conceptual, and practical.
