English summary: In recent decades intellectual history as well as political and social theory had argued, that the years around 1800 had to be considered as a period of fundamental conceptual change, in which the framework of early modern society gradually disappeard, while a new understanding of describing and constructing social order emerged. Taking this into account the study intends to illustrate – on the basis of a philosophical reconstruction of “the economic” and the empirical analysis of pyhsiocratic, conservative and romantic sources of german political discourse between 1770 and 1820 – that “economic thinking” constituted a coherent and common reference, to which political and social “languages” refered to – regardless of their different conception of social order en detail. Thus, the formation of “modern” political and social thinking evolved as “economic thinking” – a specific and in fact “unescapable” discourse of dealing with the relation between individuals, society and state, which can not be reduced solely to a “liberal” or “Smithian” social theory. German description: Die interdisziplinare Studie widmet sich dem Verhaltnis von okonomischem Denken und dem Wandel gesellschaftlicher Ordnungsvorstellungen um 1800. Aufbauend auf einer theoretischen und ideengeschichtlichen Rekonstruktion des Okonomischen wird dabei anhand physiokratischer, konservativer und romantischer Quellen empirisch gezeigt, dass sich der Diskurs des Okonomischen – trotz des jeweils unterschiedlichen Blicks auf Staat, Gesellschaft und Individuum – als unhintergehbarer Bezugsrahmen erweist. Die Herausbildung spezifisch moderner Vorstellungen gesellschaftlicher Ordnung vollzieht sich somit im Modus okonomischen Denkens, eines Denkens im Sog des Egalitaren, das zwar die traditionell herausgehobenen liberalen Ansatze a la Smith umfasst, sich darin jedoch keineswegs erschopft.
