The last decade witnessed an unprecedented annual growth of the
literature dealing with the philosophy of economics, as well as the
first signs of an institutionalization (conferences, an
international journal) of the philosophy of economics as a
scientific subject in itself - in particular in the U.S. In 1981 a
meeting took place with participants mainly of European
"continental" origin. In July 1987, we organized a second
conference "Philosophy of Economics II" at Tilburg Uni versity, The
Netherlands, mainly aiming at the establishment of first contacts
between the middle-European group and researchers from the U.S. The
present volume contains the papers presented at this conference.
Philosophical thought on economics in recent years split up in many
different streams, two of which are represented in the larger part
of this volume. The first of these streams was formed by a group of
researchers mainly from middle-Europe, who make empirical studies
of the logical structures of the different theories as they find
them presented in economic literature. Two methods prevail here.
First, the structuralist method, as exemplified in the writings of
Sneed, Stegmiiller and others, of describing the object of a theory
as a set of ("partial potential") models. Such models consist of
sets and relationships between these sets, which represent the
concepts used in the theory."
