Social Heteronomy and Contrasting Economic Epistemology a Mathematical Approach

An original socio-scientific theory is developed out of a contrast with the rationalist paradigm. This new worldview arises from the epistemology of unity of knowledge and its functional ontological implication of unity of the world-system. The Kantian epistemological meaning of heteronomy is shown to be one of the permanent socio-scientific problems of rationalism. The methodology is of the topological mathematical nature by virtue of the complex problem that inheres in the criticism of Kantian heteronomy and rationalism. The emergence of the new epistemological worldview of unity of knowledge and the world-system is formalized. Several theoretical constructs and applications of the episteme of unity of knowledge are pointed out in diverse fields.
