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. sensacionalismo escolha catalática período 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.

This article analyses the appropriation of the discourse of Idéologie, specifi cally Desttut de Tracy's ideas, by Juan Manuel Fernández de Agüero during his tenure as professor of philosophy at the University of Buenos Aires between 1822 and 1827. It identifi es the patterns of knowledge that shaped that discourse, especially regarding new moral and metaphysical questions raised as a result of changes in scholastic training in the teaching of philosophy, a scholastic imprint which was more in evidence than the discourse of the Enlightenment. It also presents the connections between this school of thought and the reformist intention of Rivadavia's government to form a new ruling elite based on republican values. Finally, it examines the process whereby these ideas spread through public opinion and the controversies which took place during Rivadavia's administration.

Este artículo analiza un caso de apropiación del discurso ideologicista, específicamente los saberes de Desttut de Tracy, a través de los textos que confeccionó Juan Manuel Fernández de Agüero en el marco de la Universidad de Buenos Aires entre 1822 y 1827. Identifica los saberes que moldearon ese discurso especialmente en lo referente a las cuestiones morales y metafísicas que planteaban un corrimiento de la formación escolástica en materia de enseñanza fi losófica, mucho más evidente que el discurso ilustrado. A su vez, expone el vínculo de esta corriente con la intención reformadora del gobierno rivadaviano de formar una nueva élite dirigente orientada a los valores republicanos. Por último, considera el proceso de difusión a través de la opinión pública y las controversias generadas durante el período que coincide con la administración rivadaviana.
