ABSTRACT
This chapter explores the concept of LebensFormen as a means to comprehend organizational sustainability and human well-being. The integration of Jaeggi, Honneth, and Rosa enables an analysis of organizations as forms of life that can either foster or hinder human flourishing through temporal, spatial, relational, and value structures. The text under scrutiny critiques models of sustainability that are reduced to instrumental logic, proposing an alternative in which recognition, resonance, and meaning become central criteria. Finally, it highlights contemporary organizational pathologies – such as acceleration, alienation, and reification – and suggests the need for profound transformations towards more eudaimonic and sustainable forms of life.
