Creative [Post]Economy: from Sociophilosophical to Political Economy Reflection

Abstract

The article raises one of the most complex and urgent problems of the philoso­phy of the socio-economic development of modernity – qualitative changes due to the progress of creative activity and the transformation of homo creator into the highest value and the main means of progress. The methodological and theo­retical basis of the article are the developments of Soviet creative Marxism, which are critically aligned with the developments of foreign economists and so­ciologists in the field of creative economy problems. Moving from sociophilo­sophical to political economy research, the author shows that under the condi­tions of late capitalism, the socio-economic form of intellectual private property is imposed on the products of creative activity. This form is in conflict with the content of creative activity, as well as the currently dominant socio-economic forms of labor, primarily the form of hired labor. At the same time, even in the modern economy, a space of free creative activity is developing, in which the regime of ownership by everybody of everything operates and the formal and real emancipation of labor begins.
