Abstract: Despite a growing interest the status of the manifestations of the subjective body is still controversial in organization studies. Defining flesh as pure subjective affective experience of life the French phenomenologist Michel Henry opens up outside the paths covered by contemporary thought. He offers an interesting perspective to understand body, subjectivity, reason, speech, power, action and work in connection with life. Following this phenomenological path opened by Henry, and also drawing upon Husserl, Merleau-Ponty and Ricoeur, I make a distinction in this paper between reason and rationality and I suggest one of their possible articulations through the concept of open deliberation. A field study which has been the basis of this research is presented.
