The study presents a general scheme of the categories of human activities, integrating mathematics into the theoretical activities, respectively economics into the hermeneutical activities. Features of the mathematical knowledge (including the mathematical object), and features of the economic comprehension (i.e. economic understanding) are established and argued. The concepts of economic subject and economic object are discussed (both from acting perspective and comprehensive view), and a new principle to replace the principle of objectivity, namely the principle of subject-object indiscernibility, is required for the hermeneutical activity. It also discusses, how the economy could accept mathematics as a tool (including assessment of the epistemological simplicity concept), after providing arguments in favour of a re-connection (based on new methodological bases) between mathematics and economics. Some suggestions for the reconstruction of mathematics in order to provide the epistemological simplicity for the economics needs are delivered.
