Abstract

A non-managerial redefinition of thought can help coordinate mental operations with those of social reality. Thought is on the level with reality when it is cured from managerial transgression reaching beyond Managerialism’s conceptual framework. This can be done either through purely axiomatic logic and formal mathematics or as an extensive universe of discourse and behaviour accomplished as Habermas’ ‘ideal speech’.692 A critical linguistic analysis of Managerialism can cure thought and speech from the confusing ghosts of Managerialism. The emphasis is on the critical and enlightening function of philosophical analysis that exists independent from any correction to the abnormal, domineering, and pathological forms of communication and behaviour engineered through managerial thought and speech. It is able to remove managerial obscurities, illusions, oddities, and ideological belief-systems. If anything, it can expose their ideological content and correct malformed behaviour in managerial regimes which Hegelian philosopher Honneth describes as ‘pathological mis-developments’.693
