Summary/Abstract: Philosophy, including economic philosophy, is usually considered a privileged field of study. Therefore, it is rarely considered that it may be irrelevant or even harmful to the economics. There are two main areas of consideration in contemporary economic philosophy. The first is the application of the philosophy of science to economics, the second is the problem of realism of assumptions in economic models and theories. In the chapter I indicate the reasons why the arrangements made in both of these areas are unnecessary for economics. The conclusion of the considerations is that economics needs, above all, a philosophy of culture, because as a science it should be perceived as a field of culture.
