| Summary | "System of Economical Contradictions; Or, The Philosophy of Misery" by P.-J. Proudhon is a philosophical and economic treatise likely written in the mid-19th century. This work explores the fundamental conflicts within economic systems, particularly between established theories and the emerging critiques posed by socialism, and examines the impact these contradictions have on society's moral and social framework. The opening of the treatise presents Proudhon’s hypothesis regarding the existence of God, which he accepts as a necessary starting point for his analysis of societal evolution and the sciences. He defines the relationship between economic science and broader metaphysical inquiries, asserting that understanding economics requires an acknowledgment of divine influence and social constructs. Proudhon articulates the ongoing tensions between political economy and socialism, positioning these schools of thought as competing factions striving for social order and justice, while identifying the inadequacies of current economic theories in addressing the inequalities and contradictions inherent in society. This introduction sets the stage for a deeper exploration of how economic structures shape human experience and consciousness. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
