Ontology of transcendence of economic subjects

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to study the transcendental economic subjects in the economic projects of a conservative type. The authors employ dialectical and metaphysical methods in line with the analysis, synthesis, induction, and deduction. Main results: the transcendental economic subjects act as thinkable, unobservable subjects in the conservative economic projects. The transcendental subjects reveal themselves as an abstract essence of an economic activity. Conclusions: the paper contains the reasoned statement that transcendental subjects assume the necessity to subdue the actual economic reality to the content of a notional project, which is realized through the representation (substitution) of an abstract essence with material phenomena and processes. A transcendental subject can be a project, which serves as a basis for the development of economic plans and programs to implement a conservative-type economic theory. Such a project is aimed at realizing abstract subjects in the form of notional conceptions in the framework of the state economic policy.
