Abstract:
This study investigates transformations of classical antiquity oikonomia and
chrematistics from the Middle Ages to the present-day.From an ancient-
historical, philosophical, literary and cultural-science perspective, it
reconstructs exemplary acquisitions and reinterpretations of economic
knowledge. The study argues that the modern economy has benefited from
transformation relationships with the oikonomia of classical antiquity, which
exhibit no unambiguously economic, efficient and profit-maximising character.
For this reason, in addition to actual historical aspects, our interest also
includes issues relating to the poetology of economic knowledge, the
metaphorology and scenaristics of the house, the theoretical, narrative and
literary representation economies and the promotion of ‘economy’ to an
ordering category per se.
