I honestly don't. My first degree was in philosophy, but it wasn't an area I focused on. I'd be surprised if no-one has done something on the topic more rigorous than fly-by internet comments by the likes of me - some of the heterodox economists perhaps? Or eco-philosophers? It's long been clear to me that the theoretical end of the economics spectrum doesn't supervene over real physical systems. It's a technically fancy adumbration of fictions (money etc). Historically-informed political economy is, of course, a different matter.
