Abstract
This last chapter explores the acute awareness the authors of the logos oikonomikos have of the problematic relationship between necessity and freedom within the economic domain as well as of the axiological dimension that they consider inherent in oikonomia. All indicate, first of all, that the use of the assets acquired and preserved extends beyond their utility and is directed to a supreme good. Second, these philosophers present precise descriptions of the different expressions of such a use ranging from individual or collective ethical benefits to political consequences, such as self-sufficiency or political power. Finally, they raise several theoretical problems concerning the nature of the knowledge of proper use: is oikonomia an autonomous knowledge able to determine and define the Good on which the good use rests, or is it a heteronomous knowledge that depends on more fundamental practical knowledge such as ethics and politics?
