This volume presents a representative sampling of James M
Buchanan's philosophical views as he deals with fundamental
problems of moral science and moral order. As one might expect,
Buchanan always goes back to fundamental principles first. From
there, his observations and conclusions range far and wide from his
own discipline. The thirty essays collected in MORAL SCIENCE AND
MORAL ORDER are divided into these categories: methods and models;
belief and consequence; moral community and moral order; moral
science, equality, and justice; contractarian encounters. In his
foreword, Hartmut Kliemt says, "The British and Scottish Moralists
of the Enlightenment period would have felt very comfortable with
James Buchanan. Like them, Buchanan may be seen as a 'man of
letters' who concerns himself with fundamental problems of moral
science and moral order. But, also like them, Buchanan is not a
secondhand dealer in old ideas. On the contrary, taking as
inspiration classical philosopher-economists (in particular, Adam
Smith), Buchanan not only proposes new applications of the
neoclassical economic paradigm, he also addresses, in innovative
ways, fundamental issues of his discipline and beyond." Kliemt's
lengthy foreword highlights some of the major philosophical
currents with which Buchanan is engaged in the papers collected in
this volume. His introduction to these philosophies provides an
excellent grounding for economists and all readers who may not be
familiar with the philosophical and fundamental issues Buchanan
undertakes.
