The article deals with the methodological interpretation of the phenomenon of wealth that is represented by various philosophical systems: the ideas of Nietzschean philosophy, theoretical models of analytical attitudes, interpretation in certain categories of existentialism and other conceptual aspects.
Philosophical thought of the twentieth century that gave a rise to one of the controversial and super critical paradigms – postmodern philosophy.is presented. Exactly within this philosophy the structuralist and poststructuralist discourse is formed. It is a topical issue for postmodern philosophers to conduct the analysis of societies, starting from primitive ones and ending with post-industrial, which presents the implementation of the technology of man’s enslavement by oppression of his affective component, where the system of production and accumulation has become the apogee. Therefore, identification of the metaphysical grounds for the economic cathexis in the modern era has become more relevant than ever.
The authors present the analysis of the works of the classics of postmodern philosophy, G. Bataille and M. Foucault, who attempted to reveal and explain the paradox and tragedy of modern man and social relations.
The article emphasizes that there is the unresolved question: why diverse related philosophical topics are united within the framework of a single discourse, the discourse of the socio-philosophical interpretation of wealth.
