Abstract: In the article, dedicated to 250-years anniversary of the first version of "Tableau économique", the logic of F. Quesnay’s (1694-1774) early thought is investigated. The need to fill the gap in such analysis is stipulated both by the state of affairs in present-day historiography of physiocracy and analytics and by the logic of development of political economy from Marx, pre-revolutionary Russian thought (including S. A. Podolinsky) up to P. Sraffa. In treating Quesnay’s article "Évidence" (1756) as a key point of his metaphysics, the author concludes that there is a surprising similarity of Quesnay’s metaphysics and Kant’s epistemology in his "Critique of Pure Reason". This specifies a route of further research in political economy as a science.
