Abstract

The scientific successes of the mathematization of his research approach, the physics has revolutionized the natural sciences with benefits a reference scientist status, in the community of scientist. Therefore, other disciplines like economics turn to the natural sciences, in their scientific approach. Furthermore, the epistemologists had the difficult to paint the scientific status of the economics, by referring to the natural science. From there, we notice a certain distancing from its political and normative approach, in this objective or approach to constituting an ‘physics economics'. For us, this isn't in according of the expectations of the specifical research on the phenomena economic, in the favor of justifying the authentic identity scientist of economics, which by its axiological foundation is political. After noting the socioeconomic and the environmental crises which experiences the world of economic, we discover that the economy of commons goods appears as an epistemological opportunity to redefine the real identity of the economy today. Our analysis epistemological approach of the economics isn't in the case to discredit the scientificity of the economics, but it's an objective critic look at the meaning of this science status, with considering the challenges and realities of the contemporary economics.
