The growth rate of financial crimes is incommensurate. We can hardly assess most of their components. Corruption (bribery and extortion) as well as money laundering occur “behind the curtain”. However, the spreading of many financial crimes has been both geographically-based (transnational financial crimes) and demographically-grounded (due to the variety of deviant personalities and social classes which are involved). Information and communication technologies have made easier to get in touch with thousands, if not millions, of potential victims in a very short delay. So, the way financial crimes are spreading all over the world requires deep reflection about the use of science and technology for unlawful and unethical purposes. We must also take into account the attitude of greed and selflove, which could encourage some people to go ahead with criminal schemes. If we look carefully at financial crimes from a philosophical viewpoint, then we cannot avoid the issue of good society. Which kind of society are we dreaming about? In which kind of world would we like to live? Which notion of humankind are we endorsing? Indeed, such questions are more philosophically-based than sociallyinduced. Financial crimes are phenomena which could be analyzed from philosophical perspective, since they are dehumanizing the world. Human being is losing the meaning of his/her being and/or the meaning of his/her world. That’s why existential/ existentiell philosophy could be helpful to grasp how the existence of human being and his/her world is at stake. Until now, financial crimes have rarely been analyzed from an existential/existentiell perspective. Some concepts borrowed from existential/existentiell philosophers could help to put light on unknown dimensions of given financial crimes: we should not only focus on their dehumanizing effects, but also on the existential emptiness (loss of meaning)
which financial crimes make arousing. Philosophical questioning arises from dehumanization processes. The way financial crimes are more and more disseminated all over the world makes our world much more meaningless, so that we need to use existential/existentiell frameworks in order to address such philosophical
questioning.
