MATHEMATICS AND THE METAPHYSICAL REGRESSION: HUMAN KNOWLEDGE

By Curtis C. Cochran

Business Skills That A Company Needs In Today's Competitive Economy!When I was earning my doctoral degree in organizational behavior, one of my instructors asked me if I would be interested in pursuing a doctorate in philosophy. My response of course was, "why?" Then I started to think, why my business instructor would ask such a question. After carefully navigating toward the philosophy section on the Internet, I was immediately presented with one of the most profound sentences I had ever read. Undoubtedly written by Socrates or Plato to bring order to the world of chaos, I found this sentence that read: "Mathematics ends and Philosophy begins".Armed with this knowledge, I decided to change my idea of management consulting and partnered with a group called ABC Business Advocates, a pioneer in the world of business consulting. Together, we formed a company that uses the humanities and cognitive science to help organizations operate more effectively. We use philosophical training to build high-performing cultures and, with the help of our affiliates we use mathematics to measure the very real effects of our training. Our recipe for creating and sustaining such high-performing cultures is the collective enhancement of skills embodied within Theory of Mind.Theory of Mind is broadly defined as the capacity to understand what is going on in the minds of other people; its synonyms being empathy and emotional intelligence. Possessing advanced Theory of Mind skills means being able to conceptualize what others think and feel, to form hypotheses about why others act as they do, and to appreciate complex emotional and behavioral dynamics in groups. It often leads to increased levels of strategic thinking, collaboration, leadership, and trust within organizations. Businesses are starting to recognize the incredible importance of Theory of Mind in professional settings; so much so, global executives recently agreed these skills are the most critical for professional success.As more and more businesses start recognizing the prosperity enjoyed by companies that leverage both mathematics and philosophy, they will see that possessing the ability to understand what is going on in the minds of other people uniquely positions them for future success. Professionals will now be able to augment mathematical calculation with the cognitive calculations found within the likes of Plato, Shakespeare, Austen, Verne, and Sun Tzu. Some leaders are ahead of the curve. Jack Bogle, founder of Vanguard, often relied upon poetry for guidance when building his company. And this is why Mathlosophy Business Consulting is our new approach to Enhancing businesses. We help those companies who have not yet leveraged the power of the humanities to secure the continued success of their organization in our globalized, highly technical economy.
