İktisadın Diyalektiği: Hegel'ci Açıdan İktisadi Davranışın İncelenmesi

Abstract

Bu makale, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel'in diyalektik yönteminin iktisadi davranışın çözümlenmesine sağlayabileceği kuramsal katkıyı incelemektedir. Çalışma, klasik ve neoklasik iktisadın atomistik birey varsayımının ekonomik davranışın dinamik, çelişkili ve tarihsel-kurumsal niteliğini yeterince kavrayamadığı tezinden hareket etmektedir. Hegel'in Tinin Fenomenolojisi (1807), Mantık Bilimi (1812-1816) ve özellikle Hukuk Felsefesinin Prensipleri (1820) yapıtlarında geliştirdiği diyalektik kavramsal araçlar -kendinde ve kendi için varlık üçlemesi, Aufhebung (kaldırma/aşkınlık), karşılıklı tanıma (Anerkennung), nesnel tin (objektiver Geist)- iktisadi davranışın üç temel uğrağı olan ihtiyaç, emek ve mülkiyet kategorilerinin çözümlenmesinde verimli bir çerçeve sunmaktadır. Makale ayrıca sivil toplum, piyasa ve devlet üçlemesinin Hegelci okumasının modern kapitalizmin yapısal çelişkilerini -yoksulluk, eşitsizlik, krizler- anlamada hâlâ ufuk açıcı olduğunu göstermektedir. Marx'ın Hegel'i "ayakları üzerine oturtma" girişimi tartışılırken, Hegel'in kendi yazılarındaki ekonomik analizin Marksist çerçevenin ötesinde özgün bir yöntemsel miras barındırdığı savunulmaktadır. Eleştirel-yorumlayıcı yönteme dayalı bu çalışma, iktisat metodolojisinin felsefi temellerinin yeniden değerlendirilmesine katkı sunmayı amaçlamaktadır.

The Dialectics of Economics: An Examination of Economic Behavior from a Hegelian Perspective

Abstract

This article examines the theoretical contribution that Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel's dialectical method can make to the analysis of economic behavior. The study proceeds from the thesis that the atomistic individual assumption of classical and neoclassical economics cannot adequately grasp the dynamic, contradictory, and historical-institutional nature of economic behavior. The dialectical conceptual tools developed by Hegel in his works Phenomenology of Spirit(1807), Science of Logic (1812-1816), and especially Elements of the Philosophy of Right (1820)—the triad of being-in-itself and being-for-itself, Aufhebung (sublation), mutual recognition (Anerkennung), and objective spirit (objektiver Geist)—offer a productive framework for analyzing the three fundamental moments of economic behavior: need, labor, and property. The article further demonstrates that the Hegelian reading of the civil society–market–state triad remains illuminating for understanding the structural contradictions of modern capitalism, including poverty, inequality, and crises. While discussing Marx's attempt to "set Hegel on his feet," the article argues that the economic analysis in Hegel's own writings carries an original methodological legacy that goes beyond the Marxist framework. Based on a critical-hermeneutic method, this study aims to contribute to the reassessment of the philosophical foundations of economic methodology.
