Rudolf Stolzmann

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rudolf Stolzmann (* 1852 ; † 1930 ) was a representative of the socio-legal direction of economics (together with Rudolf Stammler and Karl Diehl ). Karl Diehl said, however, that Stolzmann tried to synthesize the social law direction of economics with the Austrian school of economics.

Life

Stolzmann wrote three main works (1896, 1909, 1925). In his third work, On the Basics of the Philosophy of Economics , a smaller text with the title Essence and Goals of Economic Philosophy (WZW) is attached. He dedicated this writing to Heinrich Rickert as an expression of admiration. Heinrich Rickert was a representative of the southwest German direction of Neo-Kantianism and Rudolf Stammler was a representative of the Marburg direction of Neo-Kantianism. Especially in his first two works, The Social Category in Economics and The Purpose of Economics , Stolzmann represents a Neo-Kantian philosophy. In his third work, The Philosophy of Economics , and especially in his little essay, Essence and Goals of Economic Philosophy , Stolzmann changed his position somewhat. The social in the national economy was now deduced purely metaphysically . Neoplatonism and hermeticism served as a template . Stolzmann derived the concept of the mesocosm from the hermetic-Neoplatonic macrocosm / microcosm theory . The mesocosm is the “body and soul” of society and is hierarchically above the microcosm. From this, Stolzmann concluded that the social in the economy should be placed above the individual. Stolzmann criticized above all representatives of the Austrian school of political economy, which put the individual in the foreground.
