Abstract

This proposed paper (being a part of a work in progress on money and on monetary/economic crises’ conceptualization) examines the institutional facet and the symbolic function of money as its diachronical qualities; this global perception of money and of monetary phenomena is integrated, thus, in the assumption that objective functions inheres in them, corresponding to respective historical conjuncture. The obvious outcome is that each historical period accentuates the different economic concepts-and their philosophical representation or their synthesis-according to the existing stage of the market’s evolution. In this methodological framework, in the first part will be examined the variable historical phases in the process of monetary integration, as far as the different characteristics of monetary globalization-in historical perspective-are specified. It is then useless to state that the “global” concept is referred not only to an interdisciplinary approach of money but equally to the diversified levels of globalization, the latest perceived as historical phases in market’s evolution. The past experience of monetary “integration” being briefly presented, in the second part of the article are depicted Aristotle’s notions on institutional characteristics and social/symbolic functions of money. Secondly, Plato’s Politeia offers to the research a systemic differentiation on parallel monetary units, i. e. the simultaneous function of local and global monetary systems. The paper investigates the question if the platonic perception of local and global currency reflects an historical reality in Athens of classic times. Although, the purpose for the use of philosophical perceptions on money is not to depict the Aristotelian and Platonic economic ideas, but to enlarge the historical concepts as regards money’s qualities. Настоящая статья (являющаяся частью исследований по выработке концептуальных основ понятий денег, монетарных и экономических кризисов) посвящена институциональному аспекту и символической функции денег как их диахронических качеств. Такое общее понимание денег и монетарных явлений объединяется в предпосылке наличия объективных функций имманентно им присущих и отвечающих соответствующей исторической обстановке. В результате каждый исторический период формирует соответствующие ему понятия, а также их философский вид или их синтез в соответствии с существующим уровнем развития рынка. В рамках такого методологического подхода в первой части статьи проанализированы различные фазы в процессе монетарной интеграции в меру как - в исторической перспективе - будут определены различные характеристики монетарной глобализации. Лишним будет, стало быть, подчеркивать, что такое «глобальное» понимание соотносится не только с междисциплинарным подходом к вопросу денег, но и в равной степени с различными уровнями глобализации, понимаемыми здесь как исторические фазы развития рынка. Во второй части статьи представлена краткая характеристика последнего опыта монетарной «интеграции» на фоне замечаний Аристотеля по вопросу институциональных характеристик и социально-символических функций денег. Во-вторых, Полития Платона представляет исследователям систематическую дифференциацию параллельных денежных единиц, одновременно функционирующих локальных и глобальных денежных систем. В статье проанализировано, насколько восприятие Платона локальных и глобальных денежных систем отражает историческую реальность в Афинах классического периода. Однако использование философского понимания денег не служит отображению экономических взглядов Аристотеля и Платона, скорее расширяет исторические перспективы относительно характеристик денег.
