Aims and Scope
Economics and Philosophy is a semi-annual journal designed to foster collaboration between econ-
omists and philosophers and to bridge the increasingly artificial disciplinary boundaries that divide
them. Economists more and more acknowledge that their work in both positive and normative
economics depends on methodological and ethical commitments that demand philosophical study
and justification. Philosophers increasingly insist that philosophy of science must be informed by
and tested against studies of current science and of its history, while ethics and political philosophy
must depend on what we know about human aims and interests and about the principles, benefits,
and drawbacks of different forms of social organization.
Articles in Economics and Philosophy will explore the foundations of economics as both a pre-
dictive/explanatory enterprise and a normative one and will examine the relevance of economic
techniques, methods and conclusions to philosophical questions in ethics and social theory.
