Commons scholarship can bridge ethics and economics through metaphorical bricolage across theories.

Evidence

In this paper, we have searched for convergence between ethical and economic theories on commons, promoting ontological pluralism. We base this search on a “metaphorical bricolage”, a process which combines implicit assumptions as catalysts to bridge two theories (Suddaby et al. 2011). This assembling provides a comprehensive understanding of commons as a novel form of organizing based on virtues and human cooperation. — Laura Albareda and Alejo Jose G. Sison, Commons Organizing, 182
