Against the conventional wisdom, the author argues that there are serious moral presuppositions to the theory, but that economics could still count as a scientific or rational form of inquiry. The basic questions addressed - the ethical implications of economics, its status as a scientific mode of theory-construction, and the \u003ci\u003erelation\u003c\/i\u003e between these factors - are absolutely fundamental ones for an understanding of contemporary economics, the philosophy of the human sciences, and our current market culture. Moreover, the study provides a thorough philosophical analysis of the critical issues at stake \u003ci\u003efrom the inside\u003c\/i\u003e, from the credible perspective of a particular, but foundational economic theory - the neoclassical theory of rational choice.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2000-10-18\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783540410621\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-662-04476-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 382\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Berlin Heidelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44481569849484,"sku":"9783540410621","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783540410621.jpg?v=1771509505","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783540410621","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
