Linguaggio, comportamento, economia

Il laboratorio intende indagare criticamente alcuni modelli di agentività e di comportamento economico a partire dalle più recenti teorie economiche. A tal riguardo verrà affrontata una indagine storico-teoretica di alcune nozioni chiave utilizzate in economia (“identità”, “preferenza”, “scelta”, “comportamento”) e delle connessioni tra filosofia, psicologia ed economia.
