1. Introduction
Welcome to our Philosophy of Economics (PoE) seminar. Many observers believe that philosophy and economics are two very different disciplines; economics is stereotyped as a science that deals with facts, data and evidence often expressed in equations and figures while philosophy is a faculty belonging to the humanities dealing with ideas and beliefs. However, like many of the social sciences, economics grew out of philosophy, and the concerns of economists continue to intersect with those of philosophers.
Today, economics, but also finance, provide philosophers of science with an interesting and versatile breeding-ground for philosophical reflections. Under the PoE heading, we will, during one semester, critically read and reflect on historical and brand new economic and philosophical contributions and explore them along ontological, methodological and epistemological lines. Our seminar will be supported by papers that have appeared in economic and philosophical journals.
2. Expected learning outcomes
Having actively participated in the course, you would be able to:
a. Describe the most influential positions in the philosophy of economics;
b. Reproduce the most important questions arising from these positions and explain their arguments;
c. Critically engage with contemporary research literature from the philosophy of economics domain.
As in any other course at the Department of Philosophy, we seek to improve your reading, writing, thinking and presenting skills. Your development in these areas will make you a competent and challenging interlocutor, i.e. a person “to go to”.
