Working Group on Economic Philosophy and Ethics in the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Philosophie

Welcome everyone interested in Economic Philosophy (Wirtschaftsphilosophie)

Economic Philosophy and Ethics – As philosophy and economics evolved into distinct disciplines, analytical distinctions emerged, often leaving certain phenomena, questions, and contexts overlooked. Economic Philosophy (Wirtschaftsphilosophie) can thus be seen as a systematic way of re-viewing—or “Wieder- oder anders in den Blick nehmen”—these blind spots, opening space for a variety of theoretical perspectives and their intersections with lived experience and lifeworld dynamics.

We look forward to your reaching out to us,
Michaela Haase, Ingrid Becker und Verena Rauen
