From the perspective of philosophy of science to examine the evolvement of the dominant logics of management theory, there is a formidable boundary for management’s scientific attribute. Based on knowledge forms, power forms and dominant logic rather than the classical content, it is found that Emotion Logic and Calculation Logic experienced the process of harmony, abruption, and then fusion again in the history of management thoughts. As the essence of Chinese traditional culture, harmonious spirit realizes harmony between rationality and affection in root, which gives us much enlightenment to resolve the logical paradox in organization and management. This paper sets up a comprehensive framework between human nature, paradigms and discipline attributes, based on scientific philosophy theory of Kuhn and lakatos, which can give us further perspective of the attributes of management. Sensibility, rationality and morality are the main three parts of human nature, which regulate the scientific, moral and artistic attributes of management. Management discipline which purpose is to solve practical problems with comprehensive knowledge should include management science, management ethics and management arts. This paper helps to integrate management paradigms between scientism and humanism, and establish the legitimacy of Chinese management’s indigenous research.
