Workshop: the Philosophy of Money
1 November 2019 - 2 November 2019
The Philosophy of Money
Workshop at the University of Groningen
1 | THEME
New forms of money raise a number of puzzles: How can money have a virtual existence? Can the institution of money function without state support and if so how? Is it possible to develop a unified theory of commodity, fiat and electronic money? The ontological issues here often lie close to normative questions. For instance: Will new forms of money eventually violate the public’s trust in stability and justice? Is there a moral right to choose whatever currency one wants? This conference brings together experts on the ontology, economics, ethics and politics of money to develop novel answers to questions such as these.
