Since its publication in 1982, Beyond Positivism has become
established as one of the definitive statements on economic
methodology. The book's rejection of positivism and its advocacy of
pluralism were to have a profound influence in the flowering of
work methodology that has taken place in economics in the decade
since its publication. This edition contains a new preface
outlining the major developments in the area since the book's first
appearance. The book provides the first comprehensive treatment of
twentieth century philosophy of science which emphasizes the issues
relevant to economics. It proceeds to demonstrate this relevance by
reviewing some of the key debates in the area. Having concluded
that positivism has to be rejected, the author examines possible
alternative bases for economic methodology. Arguing that there is
no best method, he advocates methodological pluralism.
