摘要: This paper explores the implications of recent revival Hegel studies for philosophy economics. We argue that Hegel’s theory Objective Spirit anticipates many elements modern approaches in cognitive sciences and mind, which adopt an externalist framework. In particular, pre-empts theories social distributed cognition. The pivotal Hegelian ontology are continuity thesis, performativity recognition which, when taken together, imply all mental processes essentially dependent on externalizations, with underlying pattern actions being performative. turn, performative action is impossible without mutual intersubjective domain. demonstrate economic sketching approach to institutions preferences.
