I hope this message finds you well.
I am writing regarding the next session of my research seminar, “Description, Evaluation and Prescription in Economics and Philosophy”
at the Collège International de Philosophie (Université Paris
Lumières), organized with the support of the Walras-Pareto Center
(Université de Lausanne) and the Université Paris Cité.
The next session will take place on Friday, April 28. I will have the honor and pleasure of listening to a talk by Sheila Dow, Emeritus Professor of Economics (University of Stirling), entitled, Values in Different Domains of Economics: Scientific Motivation, Methodology, Epistemology, and Ontology.
Here is the Abstract of the talk:
Sheila
is one of the most original thinkers of our time, having published
around 300 books, edited volumes, book chapters, and papers on various
topics, including Macroeconomics, Monetary Economics, Post Keynesian
Economics, Keynes, the Scottish Enlightenment, Economic Methodology, and
the History, Epistemology and Philosophy of Economics. She is the
author of The Methodology of Macroeconomic Thought (Edward Elgar, 1998), the editor, with Alexander Dow, of A History of Scottish Economic Thought (Routledge, 2006), with Richard Arena and Matthias Klaes, of Open Economics: Economics in Relation to Other Disciplines (Routledge, 2009) and, with Jesper Jespersen and Geoff Tily, of The General Theory and Keynes for the 21st Century (Edward Elgar, 2018).
Ioana Negru and Penelope Hawkins have recently published a remarkable volume, Economic Methodology, History and Pluralism (Routledge,
2022), to pay tribute to Sheila’s exceptional scholarship. You can read
John Davis’s chapter in this volume, entitled “Sheila Dow’s Open
Systems Methodology,” using this link.
The talk, open to all without registration, will take place from 5.30 pm to 7.30 pm (Paris time) over Zoom. You can attend the seminar using this link: https://unil.zoom.us/j/95709013453
