liberalism, nominalism, Market, deism, autonomyAbstract
Liberalism is founded on a nominalist metaphysics that rejects the ability of human reason to achieve essential knowledge of the world. Seen in this way, any optimal order that we qualitatively imagine on the anthropological, political and economic levels would be, in fact, only a mere product of the imagination devoid of effective noetic value. In the case of political liberalism, this translates into the affirmation of a merely formal concept of autonomy. In the case of economic liberalism it is deism, as an enlightened evolution of the nominalist premise, which shapes thought: the Market is conceived from this perspective as an autonomous and providentially self-regulated sphere of which we can only know the procedural laws that govern its internal mechanism.
Keywords: liberalism, nominalism, Market, deism, autonomy.
