Dr Uroš Kranjc is a research associate at the Institute of Philosophy, ZRC SAZU. His research topics include the critique of political economy, the history of economic thought and economic methodology, political and social philosophy, and the philosophy of science. He orients his main area of research towards the prevailing institutional framework and aims to investigate concrete institutions of our time. His current research engages new readings in the history of economic thought, particularly by Karl Marx and Thorstein Veblen, and in the context of contemporary (French) philosophy (Badiou, Castoriadis, Deleuze). Furthermore, he focuses on the analysis and critique of economic categories through the lenses of new formalisations emerging in mathematics, logic and heterodox approaches in economic science. What also interests him is the question of political subjectivity and emancipation in modern times.
