Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
Economists such as G. Hufeland , J.S. Mill, S.W. Jevons, J.N. Keynes, R. F. Harrod, W. Roscher, B. Hildebrand, M. Weber, C. Menger, J.A. Schumpeter, L.v. Mises, F.A. v. Hayek, O. Neurath, J. M. Keynes, G. Myrdal and others frequently not only developed economic theories but authored epistemological and methodological investigations regarding the epistemological status of social and economic theories. This course scrutinizes the epistemological positions defended by economists and by rationally reconstructing their economic theories and attempts to establish relations between their epistemological positions and their economic theories.
Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
quality of written answers to questions distributed in advance for each meeting; introductory talk on the basis of written answers; seminar paper on a problem discussed in the seminar (ca 25 pages); conotributions to discussions.
Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
The aim of this course is to introduce students to the wide-ranging problems and controversies in the philosophy of economics and the social sciences in general. In particular the relation of epistemological positions and economic theories for different authors is scrutinised. Diligent students will learn to make sense of and evaluate the historical background, achievements, main criticisms and developments of those controversies which still cover much ground in contemporary discussions.
Prüfungsstoff
Teaching consists in one unbroken 90-minute lecture. Language of instruction is English, though German is welcome as well; participants have to prepare texts on the basis of questions distributed in advance of every meeting. On that basis the texts will be discussed at the different meetings. Answers to questions distributed in advance have to be handed in in writing. In order to start discussions students are required to give very brief talks summarising their written answers for one specific meeting.
