Abstract

Tematem opracowania jest problematyka obrazu człowieka w ekonomii. Celem jest zrozumienie tego terminu, a więc znalezienie jego moŜliwie pełnej definicji. W tym celu postawiono pytanie o funkcje jakie spełnia obraz człowieka w ekonomii i wyróŜniono funkcje: deskryptywną, pozytywną i normatywną. Następnie podjęto próbę zdefiniowania obrazu człowieka jak teŜ wskazania jego najwaŜniejszych komponentów i cech charakterystycznych. Wykazano, od czego obraz człowieka zaleŜy (nie tylko od zmian otoczenia, ale takŜe od obrazu świata) oraz na co wpływa - faktyczne zachowania podmiotów gospodarczych (wynikające z ich zakorzenienia systemowego), jak teŜ teorie ekonomiczne, poprzez wpływ na teorie zachowania. Słowa kluczowe: obraz człowieka, model człowieka, homo oeconomicus, homo sustinens, metodologia, podejścia naukowe, obraz świata, systemy społeczne. [The subject of the research paper concerns a image of a man in economics. The paper aims at understanding this concept and funding its complete definition. Therefore, a question concerning functions of a image of a man in economics has been put forward and descriptive, positive and normative functions have been distinguished. The attempt to define the image of homo oeconomicus has been also made along with indicating its major components and characteristic features. The paper points out the factors determining the image of a man (these are not only changes within the surrounding, but also the image of the world) and what these factors influence – actual behavioural patterns of entities (resulting from the system they are rooted in) as well as economic theories through their impact on theories of behavioural patterns. Key words: image of a man, model of a man, homo oeconomicus, homo sustinens, methodology, scientific approach, image of the world, social systems]
