This manuscript proposes a conceptual and philosophical reconsideration of sustainability issues through the lens of co-creative entrepreneurship and ethical power, drawing significantly from Foucault’s work and related philosophical traditions. The authors aim to reconceptualize sustainability as both an ontological and epistemological problem, advocating a shift from individualist-objectivist frameworks toward intersubjective, constructivist, and pragmatist foundations.
The opening of the paper is unusual for a scientific manuscript, but I believe it is useful for introducing the reader to the topic that will be discussed later.
Please delete the word "etc." immediately after the phrase "including heavy philosophical and spiritual poetry."
In my opinion, when the authors introduce objectivism as a starting point for explaining the transition to social constructivism, it might be helpful to briefly mention the concept of "homo economicus," which describes the individual as rational, oriented toward maximizing his own utility, and endowed with stable preferences. This would reinforce individualistic anthropology as a point of contact between the philosophical dimension (objectivism) and the economic dimension (homo economicus).
When introducing Foucault's idea of 'episteme,' it might be helpful to add—for greater clarity—a brief reference, even in parentheses, to the musical metaphor presented at the beginning of the manuscript.
In the conclusions and implications, it is important to emphasize that co-creative entrepreneurship also clearly involves the public sector. The authors often speak of firms and managers, but the discussion can (indeed, must) be extended to include public actors. There exists a "public entrepreneurship" that must constructively intersect with private entrepreneurship, for full sustainability (as taught by the prevailing theory of co-creation of public value, for example).
