Abstract
In a time imbued with civilisation crisis, José Manuel Naredo's work is of particular relevance. Naredo, one of the most prestigious economists in Spain and a pioneer of ecological economics, first published his most popular book (La economía en evolución. Historia y perspectivas de las categorías básicas del pensamiento económico) in 1987. This article reviews its most recent and updated version released in 2015. Beyond a brilliant criticism of neoclassical economics, he discusses the underlying ideology and implications of the notion of economic system uncritically endorsed by most schools of economic thought. Transcending the usual dichotomy between ‘orthodox’ and ‘heterodox’ economics, Naredo calls for an economic transition built on the integration of different kinds of scientific knowledge as well as other intuitive, metaphysical and ethical fields in favour of a truly inclusive economics. This is, he warns us, a sine qua non for a socioecological transformation to flourish.
在一个充满文明危机的时代,jossous Manuel Naredo的作品尤为重要。纳雷多是西班牙最负盛名的经济学家之一,也是生态经济学的先驱,他首次出版了他最受欢迎的书(La economía en evolución)。《历史透视》(categorías básicas del pensamiento económico), 1987年出版。本文回顾了2015年发布的最新版本。除了对新古典经济学的杰出批评之外,他还讨论了大多数经济思想学派不加批判地认可的经济体系概念的潜在意识形态和含义。纳雷多超越了通常的“正统”和“非正统”经济学的二分法,呼吁建立在不同类型的科学知识以及其他直觉、形而上学和伦理领域的整合基础上的经济转型,以支持真正的包容性经济学。他警告我们,这是社会生态转型蓬勃发展的必要条件。
期刊介绍:
Environmental Values is an international peer-reviewed journal that brings together contributions from philosophy, economics, politics, sociology, geography, anthropology, ecology and other disciplines, which relate to the present and future environment of human beings and other species.
