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.  \u003cbr\u003e  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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBook Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Springer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2012-10-09\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9789401053075\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 383\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44398554775692,"sku":"9789401053075","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401053075_b461316e-9a16-4beb-8e8b-cdfb86605503.jpg?v=1768920203","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789401053075","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
