Money Social Ontology and Law

<p>Presenting legal and philosophical essays on money this book explores</p><p></p><p>the conditions according to which an object like a piece of paper or an</p><p></p><p>electronic signal has come to be seen as having a value.</p><p></p><p>Money plays a crucial role in the regulation of social relationships and</p><p></p><p>their normative determination. It is thus integral to the very nature of the</p><p></p><p>“social” and the question of how society is kept together by a network</p><p></p><p>of agreements conventions exchanges and codes. All of which must</p><p></p><p>be traced down. The technologies of money discussed here by Searle</p><p></p><p>Ferraris and Condello show how we conceive the category of the social at</p><p></p><p>the intersection of individual and collective intentionality documentality</p><p></p><p>and materiality. All of these dimensions as the introduction to this volume</p><p></p><p>demonstrates are of vital importance for legal theory and for a whole set of</p><p></p><p>legal concepts that are crucial in reflections on the relationship between law</p><p></p><p>philosophy and society.</p>
