Abstract

The metaphysical analysis of the economy and economic entities calls for a definition of the metaphysical “categories” of being that will be used in this analysis. This chapter will first introduce the Aristotelian categories, but it will also explore the metaphysical categories posited by Nancy CartwrightCartwright, N.C., Tony LawsonLawson, T., and Uskali MäkiMäki, U. (in alphabetical order). The aim of this chapter is not to present all the ontological insights of these proposals, but to glean the categories that they employ to consider their potential use in this book. These authors take a critical look at contemporary standard economics. It is not the purpose of this chapter to focus on their criticisms, but only to pick up the concepts that might help to build an ontological analysis.
