Summary/Abstract: We propose a possible approach, as a mixture between Economics and Philosophy, starting withClassical Economics during the Enlightenment Century, through the thinking related to thesocial-economic order in Russia after WWI and, finally, to a leading philosopher of our days, infact a controversial character. As one already sees, being relevant in this case, we have chosentwo foundational types of teleology of the economic philosophy (because this is the field foraction for this issue): Humanistic and Malthusian. The term in debate, the entire issue, is one ofthe foundational economic-philosophic problem, which worry the mankind from millennia.We’ve tried to give a possible angle of approach of this issue, far for being exhaustive and togive categorical answers. The human life and of all beings of the Earth are subject to subjective,objective processes and even beyond our ephemeral existence. But, for the specialists inepistemology not to feel betrayed by this approach, even the term teleology is suitable to theeconomic domain, but in terms of scientific and knowledge point of view we recommend to usethe term of praxeology (emerged from Austrian School of Economic Thought)
