Partindo da análise do surgimento do homo oeconomicus e do sujeito de interesse e suas diferenças quanto à noção de um homo juridicus e de um sujeito do direito, Michel Foucault coloca em questão no curso “Le naissance de la biopolitique” (1978-1979) as relações entre o direito, a economia e a política. Refletindo nesta direção Foucault aponta o Liberalismo como um empreendimento crítico feito contra a racionalidade política que toma a forma de uma filosofia política. Tomando como exemplo a economia política de Adam Smith, veremos que Foucault aponta o liberalismo econômico como uma forma de desqualificação do projeto político que coloca o Estado soberano e jurídico e sua arte de governar como “a correta disposição das coisas, às quais se assume o encargo de conduzir a um fim conveniente”.

A közgazdaságtan emberképét, az ún. homo oeconomicus-t gyakran vezetik vissza Adam Smithre és a láthatatlan kéz elméletére. A homo oeconomicus racionális és önző. Adam Smith a morálfilozófia skót professzora, akit a klasszikus közgazdaságtan atyjaként is számon tartanak, valóban erkölcstelen tudományt alapozott volna meg? A diszciplína alapítója A nemzetek gazdagsága (1776) előtt írta az Erkölcsi érzelmek elmélete (1759) című könyvét, melyet a filozófusok gyakran összeegyeztethetetlennek látnak a láthatatlan kéz elméletéhez kötött önző emberképpel. Vajon a közgazdaságtan tényleg bűnben fogant és ezért a tudományosságának alapja az erkölcstelenség? Többek között erre a kérdésre is keresi a választ A közgazdaságtan humanizálása2 c. könyv, melynek könyvbemutatóját 2020. augusztus 26-án tartották. A beszélgetést Sárvári Balázs, a Budapesti Corvinus Egyetem oktatója moderálta, beszélgetőpartnerei pedig Neszveda Gábor, a Budapesti Corvinus Egyetem oktatója, valamint Bertók Rózsa, a Pécsi Egyetem egyetemi docense voltak.

Tradução do terceiro capítulo de Undoing the Demos, livro no qual Wendy Brown procura compreender como a emergência do homo oeconomincus subjugou outras gurações e interpelações do humano. Brown primeiro apresenta uma leitura crítica da teorização do homo oeconomicus que Foucault formulou em suas aulas sobre o neoliberalismo no Collège de France. A autora censura o lósofo francês por não ter atentado su cientemente para o homo politicus, lócus da soberania popular que consegue resistir a hegemonia do homo oeconomicus. Em seguida, re ete sobre a morfologia e posicionamento variáveis do homo oeconomicus e do homo politicus nos trabalhos de Adam Smith, Locke, Rousseau, Hegel, Marx, Bentham e J. S. Mill. Por último, analisa o gênero do homo oeconomicus contemporâneo e discute a disseminação do homo oeconomicus por meio da ordem de uma razão normativa e de uma racionalidade governante construída sobre essa ordem.

Artykuł nawiązuje do nasilającej się krytyki doktryny ekonomii głównego nurtu opierającej się na aksjomacie, że człowiek gospodarujący (homo oeconomicus) zachowuje się racjonalnie: optymalizuje decyzje, nie ulega nastrojom, nie jest chciwy itd. Konieczne jest otwarcie się ekonomii tradycyjnej na ekonomię behawioralną, która stała się w ostatnich latach jednym z najbardziej dynamicznych kierunków badań. W artykule podważono powszechne stereotypy dotyczące teorii A.Smitha, w tym przypisujący mu kreację homo oeconomicus. Biorąc pod uwagę całokształt twórczości Smitha - etyka i ekonomisty, należy stwierdzić, że egoizm i altruizm w jego teorii nie są sprzeczne. Odczytywanie ich obecnie na nowo pozwala sformułować pogląd, że A.Smith jest prekursorem ekonomii behawioralnej.

Adam Ferguson was a Professor of Moral Philosophy at the University of Edinburgh and a leading member of the Scottish Enlightenment. A friend of David Hume and Adam Smith, Ferguson was among the leading exponents of the Scottish Enlightenment’s attempts to develop a science of man and was among the first in the English speaking world to make use of the terms civilization, civil society, and political science. This book challenges many of the prevailing assumptions about Ferguson’s thinking. It explores how Ferguson sought to create a methodology for moral science that combined empirically based social theory with normative moralising with a view to supporting the virtuous education of the British elite. The Ferguson that emerges is far from the stereotyped image of a nostalgic republican sceptical about modernity, and instead is one much closer to the mainstream Scottish Enlightenment’s defence of eighteenth century British commercial society.

A collection of essays by a leading scholar. The work selected spans several decades, which together with three new unpublished pieces, cumulatively constitute a distinct interpretation of the Scottish Enlightenment as a whole while incorporating detailed examination of the work of David Hume and Adam Smith. There is, in addition, a substantial introduction which, alongside Berry’s personal intellectual history, provides a commentary on the development of the study of the Scottish Enlightenment from the 1960s. Each of the previously published chapters includes a postscript where Berry comments on subsequent work and his own retrospective assessment. The recurrent themes are the ideas of sociability and socialisation, the Humean science of man and Smith’s analysis of the relation between commerce and morality.


Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Adam Smith are two of the foremost thinkers of the European Enlightenment, thinkers who made seminal contributions to moral and political philosophy and who shaped some of the key concepts of modern political economy. Among Smith’s first published works was a letter to the Edinburgh Review where he discusses Rousseau’s Discourse on the Origin of Inequality. Smith continued to engage with Rousseau’s work and to explore many shared themes such as sympathy, political economy, sentiment, and inequality. This collection brings together an international and interdisciplinary group of Adam Smith and Rousseau scholars to provide an exploration of the key shared concerns of these two great thinkers in politics, philosophy, economics, history, and literature.

In the year 1749 Adam Smith conceived his theory of commercial liberty and David Hume laid the foundation of his monetary theory. These two intellectual developments, despite their brevity, heralded a paradigm shift in economic thinking. Smith expanded and promulgated his theory over the course of his scholarly career, culminating in the publication of The Wealth of Nations in 1776. Hume elaborated on the constituents of his monetary framework in several essays that were published in 1752. Although Smith and Hume devised their economic theories in 1749 independently, these theories complemented each other and to a considerable extent created the structure of classical economics.
