THE WORLDVIEW CONTENT OF FUNDAMENTAL ECONOMIC CATEGORIES: EXPERIENCE OF PHILOSOPHICAL UNDERSTANDING
The article analyzes the fundamental categories of the economy, with the philosophical (universal, ideological) meaning and significance. It is shown that these categories go well beyond economics, and their semantic content varies over time. By analogy with the names of the basic sections of philosophical knowledge, the authors classify these categories, reveal their ethical and axiological contents and disclose dialectical relations and interaction. The analysis allows transferring understanding of the categories of economy from the profile of the economic sphere into the broader social, humanistic and anthropological context.
Keywords: categories, economics, philosophy, material production, market economy, homo economicus, labor, need, money, property, freedom.
