Rethinking Finance Theory

While the theoretical questioning of finance, which is a relatively young specific field among the sciences, is actually being questioned, the world view and human perception on which neoclassical economics is based, and perhaps beyond that, neoclassical economics is also questioned. While doing this, the source of knowledge, the methodology of science, how the Enlightenment process gave direction to these issues and the future of the concept of scientific knowledge are also included in the discussion to a certain extent.
Today, the most questionable point of conventional economics and the finance discipline derived from this understanding is that the epistemology of the economics and finance understanding and the assumptions on which it is based do not fully grasp the reality of human and existence. For this reason, post-modern humanity struggles with crises, cannot establish a sustainable economic system and is deprived of a fair distribution of wealth. This book deals with the debates, critical views, new trends and new paradigm searches, which have become more evident especially after the crises, regarding the theory of finance as a scientific field of study and the global financial system in terms of practice.
