An organization can be the subject of philosophy. Philosophy in the traditional sense is about individuals asking intellectual questions but, in this paper, we construct an organization-based philosophy and argue that its content can be expressed verbally. Organizations create knowledge and influence organizational learning, organizational culture, and organizational behavior. Organization-based philosophy is also necessary in rebuilding the scale and norms of an organization. Political science, business administration, law, psychology, economics, and sociology are disciplines that see organizations as important units of analysis, and interdisciplinary research can be constructed from these disciplines through the organizational philosophy lens. We are entering an era in which AI (artificial intelligence) is becoming a constituent of organizations. This calls for a new organization-based philosophy to be added to the philosophy that sees human beings as individuals alone.
