On Economic Behavior from the Perspective of "Embodied-Symbiotic" Philosophy: A Reinterpretation of Value, Currency, and Markets

Traditional economics treats core concepts such as "value" and "utility" as a priori, quantifiable givens, leading to a "disembodied" dilemma in its theoretical framework. Based on the triad of "Embodied Perception, Information Exchange, and Dynamic Interconstitution" proposed in Embodiment-Symbiosis: The Construction and Interpretation of a Dynamic Philosophical System Framework, this paper constructs a new framework for interpreting economic philosophy. This framework anchors the essence of economic activity in the expansion and interaction of individual and collective "meaning-generating spaces," thereby providing a consistent and profound meta-theoretical explanation for the origin of value, the motivation for transaction, the nature of currency, the operation of financial markets, distributive justice, and the production-consumption cycle. This paper argues that the economy is not an objective system detached from subjective experience, but rather a meaning network rooted in human embodiment, achieving consensus through information exchange, and continuously evolving through dynamic co-construction. This perspective not only explains various economic phenomena, ranging from primitive exchange to complex finance, but also, through its inherent normativity, provides a solid philosophical foundation for critiquing economic alienation and power exploitation.
