The Economics of Identity and Creativity aims to sythesize
naturalistic evolutionary theory while discussing new developments
in economics. The author's approach reexamines fundamental
assumptions about how a capitalist economy works, from the relation
between producers and consumers to the functioning of intellectual
property rights. In the creative economy, the author argues,
identities merge with the flow of creative action. To explain these
changes, he draws upon a range of theories from analytical
philosophy to biology, and from economics to sociology. The first
part of the book examines the role of language in the naturalistic
approach to cultural science. Hermann-Pillath draws on Darwinian
evolutionary theory to map a concept of knowledge. Part Two offers
a systematic approach to creativity and identity from the
naturalistic point of view developed in Part One. Here the author
builds a theory of creativity from the ideas of conceptual blending
in the cognitive sciences. Herrmann-Pillath presents a theory of
identity based on analytical philosophy, and looks at the problems
in fixing the boundaries of an individual identity both in
biological evolutionary theory and brain sciences. He takes the
concept of identity through the current economic approaches,
examining the distinction between social and personal identity.
This fascinating interdisciplinary work provides a precise argument
that the foundations of economics can be found in cultural science,
and it has evolved to become the cultural institution at the core
of the modern economy.
