Presenting legal and philosophical essays on money, this book exploresthe conditions according to which an object like a piece of paper, or anelectronic signal, has come to be seen as having a value.Money plays a crucial role in the regulation of social relationships andtheir normative determination. It is thus integral to the very nature of the"social", and the question of how society is kept together by a networkof agreements, conventions, exchanges, and codes. All of which mustbe traced down. The technologies of money discussed here by Searle, Ferraris, and Condello show how we conceive the category of the social atthe intersection of individual and collective intentionality, documentality, and materiality. All of these dimensions, as the introduction to this volumedemonstrates, are of vital importance for legal theory and for a whole set oflegal concepts that are crucial in reflections on the relationship between law, philosophy, and society.
