For much of the last three decades or more economic methodology has
been dominated by the work of Karl Popper who advocated the
position that science is what it is by virtue of its adherence to
certain ideals. The methodology of science is therefore not
empirical or descriptive, but rather a set of rules for producing
rational' or objective' knowledge. This volume presents
alternatives to an exclusively Popperian methodology: its purpose
is not to reject Popper, but to show there are other ways of
construing methodology. The book is divided into three parts. Part
I contains two critical surveys -- one dealing with the rule-based
tradition which has had a great influence on economic methodology
in the last three decades and the other arguing for the social
conditioning of knowledge. Part II is concerned with auxiliary
hypotheses needed to link rational choice at the social and
individual levels. Part III follows up on aspects raised in linking
rational choice at the social and individual levels by looking at
specific issues, including rhetoric and economics and gender and
economic research.
