| Inhalt |
Today, economics, but also finance, provide philosophers of science an interesting and versatile breeding-ground for philosophical reflections. Under the Philosophy of Economics heading, we will, during one semester, critically read and reflect upon historical and more recent economic contributions and explore them from a philosophical point of view – in particular discussing their ontological, methodological and epistemological implications. Our seminar will be supported by academic papers published in economic and philosophical journals.
The aim of this seminar is to introduce bachelor and/or master level students to philosophy of economics, its main questions, ideas, concepts and positions and to discuss important questions arising from this field.
