This chapter introduces the ordonomic research program and explains its methodological roots. It shows how a German-speaking line of tradition has developed from Order Economics (Ordnungsökonomik) through Order Ethics (Ordnungsethik) to Ordonomics (Ordonomik). Ordonomics integrates central ideas of its predecessors into a theory of societal learning processes, which regards institutions and ideas as key variables. Using a three-level model, the connections between rule-following, rule-setting, and rule-finding are analyzed. The aim is a functional utilization of systemic constraints for the realization of moral desiderata. Case studies demonstrate practical applications of the ordonomic approach to institutional and ideational ethics.

摘要

This chapter introduces the ordonomic research program and explains its methodological roots. It shows how a German-speaking line of tradition has developed from Order Economics (Ordnungsökonomik) through Order Ethics (Ordnungsethik) to Ordonomics (Ordonomik). Ordonomics integrates central ideas of its predecessors into a theory of societal learning processes, which regards institutions and ideas as key variables. Using a three-level model, the connections between rule-following, rule-setting, and rule-finding are analyzed. The aim is a functional utilization of systemic constraints for the realization of moral desiderata. Case studies demonstrate practical applications of the ordonomic approach to institutional and ideational ethics.
