With a view to setting things in order, this book distinguishes: the methodological hypotheses, which could possibly be corrected on the basis of new economic psychology; the weak anthropologies, retrievable as 'given abstractions' within typical contexts; and finally the extreme versions, that reduce human nature to absolute egoism. The author makes a radical criticism of the latter, drawing upon the extensive tools derived from psychology, philosophical anthropology and political philosophy, and thus succeeds in demonstrating their lack of empirical foundation, their conceptual inconsistency and their ideological dangerousness. 517 $aHomo oeconomicus 606 $aEconomic man 606 $aEconomics$xPhilosophy 615 0$aEconomic man. 615 0$aEconomics$xPhilosophy. 676 $a306.3 700 $aCaruso$b Sergio$0263073 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910137950603321 996 $aHomo oeconomicus$91142432 997 $aUNINA
