Summary/Abstract: Among researchers who use methods and tools of mathematical sciences in the description of economic phenomena and processes, Józef Maria Hoene-Wron´ ski occupies a prominent place. His works on social economy in which he attempts to mathematically define relations holding between elements of economic processes place him among the forerunners of mathematical economics in Poland. Relying on assumptions of absolute philosophy and scientific messianism, he presents an interesting approach towards the aim and principles of social economy. He formulates an original theory of value and develops a novel, dynamic economic system in which he highlights the possibilities that mathematical methods and tools bring.
