Economic Philosophy

Japanese: 経済哲学 - けいざいてつがく
Economic Philosophy
The first aspect in which modern economics, which considers itself a science, interacts with philosophy is in the area of ​​scientific methodology surrounding the deduction and verification of hypotheses. In short, the main task of economic philosophy is to explore the conditions for making the nature of economics similar to that of natural science. As a result, KR Popper-style discussions of empirical falsifiability occupy the center of economic philosophy, and interpretations of the meaning of axioms, postulates, or basic assumptions that form the premise of theoretical hypotheses tend to be dismissed as belonging to metaphysics.

Japanese:
科学としての経済学を自認する近代経済学が哲学とふれあう第1の局面は,仮説の演繹および仮説の検証をめぐる科学方法論に関してである。簡略にいえば,経済学の性格を自然科学のそれと類似のものにするための条件を探るのが経済哲学の主要な仕事になっている。その結果,K.R.ポッパー流の経験的反証可能性に関する議論が経済哲学の中心を占めており,理論仮説の前提をなす公理,公準あるいは基本的仮定に関する意味解釈は形而上学に属するとして退けられる傾向にある。
