Economy and difference

The project concerns philosophical research about economy from the point of view of difference. It includes three parts. In the first one the significance of the philosophical concept of 'difference' for economy is analysed. The main authors for this part are Aristotle and Derrida. The second part deals with the genealogy of the concept of economy. Smith, Marx and Menger are among others main sources in this part. The last part develops a deconstructive philosophy of economy. Core problems are money, labour and the relationship between economy and politics.
