Rather than treating grand challenges simply as empirical contexts or abstract concepts, this paper proposes a phenomenological perspective, one that focuses on how actors interpret and coordinate action through processes of deliberation. By integrating insights from the Carnegie School of organization theory and French pragmatic sociology’s theory of justification, the authors develop a model that links organizational decision-making with moral evaluation and collective action.
