文摘The article is dedicated to the analysis of philosophical understanding of the current economic world. In the existent interpretations of the economic world physical, biological and psychological approaches predominate. They highlight certain important aspects of economic realm, but do not provide a complex global picture of it. The philosophical method used in the article structuralizes the economic world in the context of Aristotelian doctrine concerning economic reality and economic being and Heidegger＇s fundamental ontology. The main attention is paid to the ontological and epistemological aspects of the economic world. The structure of the economic world is considered as a whole and in its dimensions （the economic being, the economic existence, the economic actuality, and the art of economics）. Economic being is considered as a ground, prerequisite, economic background of economic existence. It is resumed that the qualitative analysis of the economic world has to be based on the philosophical, general scientific and economic methodology. Philosophical methodology includes general principles of cognition and categorical structure of science （i.e., structural components） as well as a philosophical knowledge system （i.e., functional components）. General scientific methodology is based on general scientific research principles. It includes all theoretical concepts used to all or the majority of scientific disciplines. Specific scientific methodology, economic methodology use appropriate methods, research principles, and procedures in economics. The art of economics （economic policy） is built on a basis of either the explanatory methodology or applied （engineering） methodology, with its precise tools of statistics, econometrics, and mathematics.
