Abstract

Economics is grounded on unexamined anthropological assumptions. The present investigation seeks to uncover the remote anthropological foundations of economic activity (the theme of Economics). This first part (I) examines the current situation of related research; it then suggests man’s condition as a “dualizing being” as the ultimate grounding for Economics –after previously clarifying the notion of dualization–; finally, it presents the most radical dualizations. The (forthcoming) second part (II) will investigate operative dualizations –derived from the former–, and will conclude that economic activity begins delineating itself by means of the essential dualization of man and has, as its least remote foundation, his histor- ical situation.
