Prokhorov, M. M. The Phenomenon of Economism
Abstract:
The author of the article describes the terms «economics’ and «economism» as opposed conceptions.
He describes the relation between economism and mechanical philosophy and analyzes the existence of
human and society, the role of economics and the origin of the phenomenon of economism. The article
also deals with economics, its purpose and mode of existence. According to the author, the phenomenon of
economism is opposed to the term «economics». The author demonstrates the inadequacy of mechanical
philosophy and economism in philosophical ontology (dialectics of existence) and dynamics of science
(existence of classical, non-classical and post-classical science). He shows that economism estranges human
from the social reality just like mechanical philosophy estranges human from the material reality. The main
method used by the author of the article is dialectics including the following combination of methods: method
of objectivity, method of contradictions between positive and negative dialectics and between the historical
and the logical, the method of ascension from abstract to concrete and the comparative method of research.
The author of the article analyzes the philosophical grounds of economics and defines the phenomenon of
economism as well as describes the influence of economism on economis, society and social spheres. The
article contains a comparative analysis of economism and mechanical philosophy and their inadequacy in
terms of existence, its development and philosophical picture of the world in general. Mechanical philosophy
replaces philosophical ontology with natural science concepts (like in positivism) and economism replaces
social ontology with the concepts described in the humanities.
Keywords:
society, sphere, development, economism, mechanical philosophy, part, whole, evolution, philosophy, science.
