This special issue engages with the unsettling of the humanities to further explore its relevance for management learning and education. It explores how themes traditionally belonging to the humanities have spurred critical inquiry and raised theoretical issues within other disciplines, following the crisis of the classical humanist ideal as ‘the measure of all things’. It focuses on how the tensions resulting from this crisis can be constructively thematized in the field of management and organization studies, and how the unsettling of the humanities’ privileged access to studying the ‘especially human’ can be taken into the classroom. In this manner, the special issue engages with questions related to the Anthropocene, posthumanism and transhumanism, and raises issues concerning the human possibilities for knowing, learning and living in entangled ways. Additionally, it helps us understand the critical role of the humanities in making sense of the reciprocities between imagination, information and the human crafting of meaningful knowledge.

本期特刊引起了人文界的不安，进一步探讨了其与管理学习和教育的关系。它探讨了传统上属于人文学科的主题如何在古典人文主义理想作为“万物的尺度”的危机之后激发了其他学科的批判性探究并引发了理论问题。它着重于如何在管理和组织研究领域中建设性地解决由这场危机引起的紧张局势，以及如何将人文学科特权转移到研究“特别是人类”这一问题上来。这样，该特刊就涉及人类世，后人类主义和超人类主义的问题，并提出了有关人类了解，纠缠的学习和生活。此外，它有助于我们理解人文科学在发挥想象力，信息和人为创造有意义的知识之间的相互关系时的关键作用。
