Ontology and The Real Economy
The modern mainstream of economics is, at best, unclear in terms of conceptualising its object of study. Jonathan Levy, in The Real Economy (2025), identifies this issue and, through historical analysis, provides elements of a conception of the object of study of economics—the economy. The Cambridge Social Ontology project has similarly engaged with the impoverished state of the modern mainstream of economics. The paper contrasts these two approa…

Cambridge social ontolo…
Rights and obligations in Cambridge social ontology
Rights and obligations—sometimes referred to as deontology or deontic powers—are key to most contemporary conceptions of social ontology.

This is not the case. Rather, if any concept can be considered central for Lawson, it is organisation. In this paper, I explain how Searle could misunderstand Lawson and, in doing so, I bring out the importance of organisation f…
