Summary

At the turn of the 1990s, realism was launched as a metatheoretical approach in economic methodology more or less simultaneously by Tony Lawson and Uskali Mäki. However, their philosophical approaches are fundamentally different. This volume, from an international collection of scholars, provides the first comprehensive account of Mäki'¬"s realist vision of economics. Arguing that realism has implications for a variety of methodological topics, the contributors cover such topics as unrealistic assumptions and truth in economics, unification and interdisciplinary relations as well as economics imperialism, the method of isolation, commonsensibles, and the implications of realism for economic modelling. The contributors provide a lively and detailed account of the realist position that has influenced the philosophy of economics via Uskali Mäki'¬"s many writings, and the volume will be of great interest to economists, social scientists, philosophers of economics, and philosophers more generally. It is also relevant for anyone reflecting on the nature of economic science.
