Abstract
AbstractDiscussing the rise and fall of the anthropological concept of Homo economicus, which is still a dominant model in the field of economics, this introductory chapter provides a framework for understanding the contributions in this volume. In response to a white paper in which a complementary model entitled Homo amans is proposed, they altogether reflect on the status of the Homo economicus model in contemporary economics from a multidisciplinary perspective.
