Resumo Este artigo estuda a pioneira contribuição de Condillac à Economia, que antecipa em diversos aspectos as teorias neoclássicas do valor e trocas. O trabalho argumenta que a teoria econômica do autor se relaciona com sua filosofia, o sensacionalismo, que provê uma fundamentação possível para uma Economia baseada no conceito de ação humana e escolha. A rejeição por parte dos economistas do século dezenove do modelo de trocas e da teoria do valor desenvolvidos por Condillac é relacionada no artigo com as diferenças nucleares entre as perspectivas plutológica e catalática. A despeito dessa rejeição, mostramos como a filosofia do autor ainda assim influencia as obras de alguns economistas do período, notadamente Destutt de Tracy.
Abstract This article studies Condillac’s pioneering contribution to economics, which in many ways anticipates modern neoclassical value and exchange theory. The paper argues that his economic theory is related to his philosophy, known as sensationalism, which provides a possible foundation for an economic theory based on the concept of human action and choice. The rejection by nineteenth-century economists of the exchange model and theory of value developed by Condillac is related in the article to the core differences between the plutological and catallactic perspectives. Despite this rejection of his contributions, we show how the author’s philosophy still influenced the works of some economists of the period, notably Destutt de Tracy.
