Economic science is generally considered less viable than the physical sciences. Sophisticated mathematical models of the economy have been developed but their accuracy is questionable to the point that the present economic crisis is often blamed on an unwarranted faith in faulty mathematical models. In this paper, we claim that the mathematical handling of economics has actually been reasonably successful and that models are not the cause behind the present crisis. The science of economics does not study immutable laws of nature but the complex human artefacts that are our economies and our financial markets, artefacts that are designed to be largely uncertain. We could make our economies and our markets less subject to uncertainty, and mathematical models more faithful to empirical da...

A professor of philosophy at the University of Minnesota, George Conger was loosely associated with the movement known as Emergent Evolutionism, the proto-phase of emergence-based thought in philosophy, the sciences, and even theology existing roughly from 1915 to 1940. Conger's paper on the idea of emergent levels, published in the prestigious Journal of Philosophy in 1925, was a careful and thought-provoking examination of the idea coming right at the intellectual zenith of proto-emergentism. Conger explicated what he found conceptually helpful in the notion of emergent level, but did not fail in taking-on what he found conceptually troublesome about it as well. Conger also suggested, in another manifestation of foresight, that much of the mystery surrounding emergence could be cleare...

Foucault's analysis, I contend, can be considered in terms of a strategic model which focuses not so much on the question of right, but rather on the mechanisms through which power effects are produced.2 Instead of fixing the legitimacy of science or asking what is the proper domain of a certain knowledge, Foucault examines the role of certain knowledges in the production of effects of power. Science, allied with state bureaucratization, disempowers the public's opinion formation and uncouples political decision from the public sphere of the lifeworld; democratic decision-making loses its function, and state technocrats take over the role in the decision-making of social and political issues. In Knowledge and Human Interests, Habermas differentiates three distinct forms of knowledge, ...
