  • Uniquely among sciences, the methodology of economics (its epistemology, ontology, scope, and focal questions) has failed to improve the match between its theories and reality. It is aprioristic, assuming that introspection will reveal unchallengeable basic truths from which a valid theoretical structure can be logically deduced. Despite the efforts of Mill, von Mises, Robbins, Friedman, Hausman, and others, this remains indefensible: inter alia, the basic 'truths' are immune neither to professional/ cultural biases, nor to uncertainty. Reformed methodology is proposed that would take us closer to the other sciences; this includes a new set of central questions that focus on establishing a more realistic set of basic concepts, and the provision of tools for managing complex, dynamic eco...

I. Lewis, the pragmatic side of Quine, the Kantian side of Sellars, Goodman, the Kantian side of Strawson, the anti-realist side of Dummett, the internal realist Putnam, Rorty, McDowell, and Brandom right into contemporary philosophy. EC has also had a surprisingly powerful and wide influence in the contemporary human sciences and formal sciences: for example, in Uterary studies, history and history of science, women's studies and gender studies, ethnicity and race studies, film studies, sociology, human anthropology,...

  • The rules of the epistemological game are laid down in such a way that it is a priori that the skeptic will lose. [...] contemporary epistemology defines a clear-cut criterion of its success, namely the capacity to address the question whether a given epistemological setting is able to refute skepticism or, at the very least, to obviate its supposedly destructive effects.
