Abstract
The article analyzes the philosophical and methodological foundations of the phenomenon of «economic policy», in particular the teachings of Ukrainian theorists of the first and second halves of the 19th century, as well as the contributions of contemporary scholars to the development of Ukraine’s economic policy. The key concepts of Ukrainian economists such as M. Baludyansky, T. Stepanova, D. Zhuravsky, I. Vernadsky, M. Bunge, and M. Tugan-Baranovsky are substantiated, along with modern economic schools that shape the foundations of the Ukrainian state’s economic policy, including the works of O. Alymov, V. Bazylevych, A. Halchynsky, V. Heiets, and S. Zlupko.
The essence and main characteristics of the phenomenon of «economic policy» are revealed in the context of modern philosophical discourse, particularly through the prism of the development of Ukrainian economic thought and its integration into contemporary global and national contexts. Emphasis is placed on the interdisciplinary nature of economic policy, which integrates social, ecological, cultural, and spiritual factors into the processes of economic development. The significance of philosophical anthropology and the philosophy of economics as the methodological foundation of modern economic reforms is highlighted. It is proven that modern economic policy must be based on the principles of justice, social responsibility, spirituality, and ecological balance.
The prospects of cooperation, the energetic theory of labor, and the interconnection of economic processes with ecological and social factors are outlined as the basis for shaping a more sustainable and equitable economic policy.
