from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wolf Dieter Enkelmann (born June 13, 1955 in Münster , North Rhine-Westphalia ) is a German philosopher who specializes in economic philosophy . Since 2001 he has been director of research and development at the Munich Institute , since 2015 of the Berlin Institute for Economic Design , which is dedicated to research in economic philosophy.

Career

Two years after graduating from the Schillergymnasium in Münster , Enkelmann began in 1976 at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich to study politics, communication and social sciences as well as history and philosophy, temporarily interrupted for studies at the universities of Salzburg and Caen as well as for Work in the trade (interior fittings, exhibition stand construction, advertising graphics) in Munich, Salzburg and Lichtenau (Reinhold Meier Group). After graduating in 1987 with an MA . he was involved in various research projects at the philosophical faculty of the LMU Munich (thematic focus: political philosophy and aesthetics as well as natural philosophy ). At the same time as teaching, he began cultural work in the fields of visual arts, music and theater: exhibition concepts, dramaturgy and direction (e.g. Burgtheater Vienna ). After receiving his doctorate in 1994 on a natural-philosophical topic, he continued his philosophical practice both in the cultural field and increasingly in business as a coach and consultant for entrepreneurs and executives.

In 2001 he returned to science. He was appointed director for research and development at the Munich Institute for Economic Design.

His research focuses primarily on the reconstruction of the economic thinking of the philosophical tradition and encompasses the entire field of European philosophy of economics: from the mythical economics of Hesiod and the idea of ​​the world economy of Plato to the eudaimonistic transformation of utility maximization by Aristotle and his re-establishment of the political Economy by distinguishing between oikos and polis (economy and state). From Hegel's economic thinking and Nietzsche's reconstruction of morality as an economy to economics, for example in Georges Bataille , Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari or Jacques Derrida . Enkelmann's reinterpretation of the term Homo oeconomicus (derived from Aristotle and Nietzsche) is of particular importance. Work u. a. on the philosophy of money, sustainability, corporate citizenship or the relationship between business and art round off the program. His decisive demarcation from the otherwise usual business ethical approach has had an initiatory effect on business philosophy in Germany.

Since 2010, together with Birger P. Priddat, he has been the first of its kind in Germany to publish the “Wirtschaftsphilosophie” series in the Metropolis Verlag (including 2014–2016: Wolf Dieter Enkelmann, Birger P.
