Description

Abstract: As the field of entrepreneurship is one of the areas that require to acquire a variety of skills related to innovation and Management, the education of entrepreneurship, and the establishment of entrepreneurial culture, require the development of the interdisciplinary studies on the question of entrepreneurship. The formation of the entrepreneur is attended by specialists in diverse fields such as economics, management, political science, sociology, psychology and history. But there is a weak attention, especially in Arab societies, to the expected role of philosophy, despite the contribution it can achieve in this area. Therefore, this research presents the justifications that explain the need to use philosophy in entrepreneurship education:   First, philosophy serves to define the meaning of entrepreneurial action as a concept.

   Secondly, philosophy helps to determine the ethical norms of entrepreneurial action (should companies create their own ethical charter or should the ethical charter be left to the market? Do corporations have social responsibility? What are the major ethical principles by which a company’s ethical conduct can be explained?). Reducing the goals of engaging in entrepreneurship in what is profitable has serious social and ethical implications that can be reduced by awareness, and by philosophically rethinking the theoretical foundations of the concept of entrepreneurship, and the role of philosophy of education in assigning this concept to values that give it a social and moral human meaning.

   Thirdly, philosophy can help give the entrepreneur a flexible thinking, a diversification of perspectives in approaching issues, and the ability to think critically. The researcher reached a set of results concerning the philosophical issues proposed to be included in the methods of entrepreneurship education, such as ethics of entrepreneurship, political philosophy in entrepreneurship (entrepreneurship between freedom an obedience to the law), and the ontology of entrepreneurship (self-realization – entrepreneurial will – the importance of entrepreneurial work – responsibility …).

Keywords: education, entrepreneurship. Philosophy, philosophy of education, values.
