==================== HES POSTING ======================
My understanding of the issues of formalism, and the relation of
the work of Mises to at least one of those mentioned in my post -- Hayek,
is at least partially and provisionally found in the recent HES
conference paper "The Significance of Myth and Misunderstanding in
Social Science Narrative: Opening Access to Friedrich Hayek's
Copernican Revolution in Economics" which is available on the internet
at my WEB site at:

I must warn that the arguments there are at a very high and
abstract level, without the detail and historical background that
are really required for a broad audience. Some have found the
analysis there to be exceptional, others have found it rather heavy
going.
I find it terribly helpful to overhear references to
papers and books of direct relevance to my own research
efforts during ongoing conversations on the internet,
so I regularly include bibliographical material in large
measure for the chance benefit of those 'lurking in'
on ongoing discussions.
As further bibliography for the current conversation,
I might add:

Epistemology", in _Economics & Philosophy_, 1996, vol.
