ECONOMY AND HUMANITY IN THE THINKING OF GENEVIEVE VAUGHAN. FROM PATRIARCHAL ECONOMY TO A NEW METAPHYSICS OF NEED

This article wants to deepen the relationship between economy and humanity in Genevieve Vaughan's thought. Starting from a critic of contemporary economy, based on the male gender socialization, Vaughan shows how it must be reinterpreted with the concepts of gift and care. Moreover, we want to explain how the heuristic of her thought is able to reconceptualize the human experiences of need and wish from a different metaphysic perspective.
