CAUSALITY RELATIONS IN ECONOMIC PROCESSES: METHODOLOGY INTERPRETATION

CAUSALITY RELATIONS IN ECONOMIC PROCESSES: METHODOLOGY INTERPRETATION

mathematical correlation between physical quantities. In other words, the

dilemma between nature and existence was resolved in favor of the last.
At the same time the treatment of Aristotle’s periodical thoughts

was not quite adequate. For example, German idealism was based on
formal causality; “physiology” was oriented to material causality.

Scholastic causality was divided into the grades (first, second);

intermediary causality, instrumental causality and accompanying
causality are included into the periods. In Middle Ages economic

philosophy postponed material and formal causality and paid attention to
generating and final causality. New philosophy treated causality

relations in the following way:

1. Final causality should be isolated from its nature (F. Bacon). As
per Bacon, final causality is as infertile as girls dedicated their lives to

God [Decart.1989].
2. Investigation of causality concept (Hume, Kant) [Becon. 1971-

1972].
3. Limitation of area, which can be affected by the generating

causality as much as it’s possible (R. Decart) [Phylosopphy,1997:

368].
As per Hume causality is a predefined sequence of sense inherent

to the human beings, as per Kant causality is generated by self-assured
personality. Objective based idealism treats the causality as spirit, idea

and notion, which are not somehow depend on personality.

The newest philosophy omits basically two “causality related”

questions:

1. As necessary methodology approach segregation of generating
causality apart from the rest three ones is accepted as personal approach
