Justice and just price in Francisco de Vitoria's Commentary on Summa Theologica II-II q77 弗朗西斯科·德·维多利亚《神学总论注释II-II》中的正义与正义价格,第77期

José Luis Cendejas Bueno
Following Thomas Aquinas, Francisco de Vitoria's analysis of justice in exchanges takes place by commenting on the corresponding questions of the Summa Theologica. The identification of the just price with that of common estimation occurs under a sufficient concurrence of sellers and buyers. A high level of concurrence limits the ability to take advantage of the need on the other side of the market. This fact guaranties a full consent of the parties involved in trading. Under conditions of market power or when some authority fixes a legal price, just price should also be taken as a normative ideal.
继托马斯·阿奎那之后,弗朗西斯科·德·维托里亚对交换中的正义进行了分析,并对《神学概论》的相应问题进行了评论。在买卖双方充分同意的情况下,公正价格与共同估计价格的识别就发生了。高度的一致性限制了利用市场另一端需求的能力。这一事实保证了交易各方的完全同意。在市场力量的条件下,或者当一些权威机构确定了合法价格时,公正的价格也应该被视为一种规范的理想。

Academic discipline of economics as hedonist philosophy 作为享乐主义哲学的经济学学科
IF 0.2 Q4 ECONOMICS Pub Date : 2021-11-20 DOI: 10.46298/jpe.8668
Tiago Cardao-Pito
Contemporary mainstream economics cannot be seen as disconnected from philosophical concerns. On the contrary, it should be understood as a defence for a specific philosophy, namely, crude quantitative hedonism where money would measure pleasure and pain. Disguised among a great mathematical apparatus involving utility functions, supply, and demand, lies a specific hedonist philosophy that every year is lectured to thousands of economic and business students around the world. This hedonist philosophy is much less sophisticated than that in ancient hedonist philosophers as Epicurus or Lucretius. Furthermore, it does not solve any of the systematic difficulties regularly faced by hedonist philosophy. However, the argument that economics is detached from philosophy works as a rhetorical artifice to protect its dominant underlying philosophy: Philosophical disputes would have to be addressed within the biased mathematical apparatus of quantitative hedonism. Economists and business students must learn to identify the underlying philosophy in mainstream economics and alternative philosophical systems.
当代主流经济学不能被视为与哲学问题脱节。相反,它应该被理解为对一种特定哲学的辩护,即粗暴的定量享乐主义,用金钱来衡量快乐和痛苦。在涉及效用函数、供给和需求的庞大数学仪器的伪装下,隐藏着一种特殊的享乐主义哲学,每年都要向世界各地成千上万的经济学和商学学生讲授这一哲学。这种享乐主义哲学远没有伊壁鸠鲁或卢克莱修等古代享乐主义哲学家的哲学复杂。此外,它并没有解决享乐主义哲学经常面临的任何系统性困难。然而,经济学与哲学分离的论点是一种修辞技巧,以保护其占主导地位的基本哲学:哲学争论必须在定量享乐主义的有偏见的数学工具中解决。经济学家和商学院的学生必须学会识别主流经济学和另类哲学体系的基本哲学。

Levrau and have produced a monumental editorial work, dedicated to the topic of equality in times of great social polarization. Equality understood as a multidimensional concept is fundamental for the vital aspects of society such as human rights, solidarity and even freedom and how these are to be conceived implemented and experienced by subjects; these are accomplishments which do not occur without an overarching idea of equality. This observation sheds some light on the long history of the human attempts to understand the theoretical, social, and practical aspects of equality. The present book explores this idea extensively, investigating the concept of equality from a multidisciplinary perspective, where a diverse range of theories about equality and welfare are combined with concrete data about equality in the real world. We emphasize the valuable distinction between equality and the welfare state, especially since, as Robert E. Goodin noticed, although the justification for the welfare state resides for the most part in the principles of social equality, ‘the welfare state is not really very egalitarian’, aiming to redistribute ‘only a certain strictly limited set of social resources; it is concerned with minimum standards, not thoroughgoing equalization; it is concerned to readjust final distributions, not basic holdings of productive assets, and so on’ (Goodin 1988, p. 51). The research into equality is structured in three parts. The first part is entitled ‘Theories & Histories’ and covers the conceptual aspects, with reference to political philosophy, history, and multicultural theory. The debates are
莱弗劳和他的同事们创作了一部巨著,致力于探讨社会两极分化时期的平等问题。平等被理解为一个多层面的概念,是人权、团结甚至自由等社会重要方面的基础,也是主体如何构思、执行和体验这些方面的基础;如果没有平等的总体理念,这些成就是不可能实现的。这一观察揭示了人类试图理解平等的理论、社会和实践方面的漫长历史。本书广泛地探讨了这一观点,从多学科的角度调查了平等的概念,其中关于平等和福利的各种理论与现实世界中关于平等的具体数据相结合。我们强调平等和福利国家之间有价值的区别,尤其是因为,正如罗伯特·e·古丁(Robert E. Goodin)注意到的那样,尽管福利国家的正当性在很大程度上存在于社会平等的原则中,但“福利国家并不是真正的平等主义”,它的目标是“仅仅重新分配某些严格有限的社会资源;它关注的是最低标准,而不是彻底的平等;它关注的是重新调整最终分配,而不是生产性资产的基本持有,等等”(Goodin 1988,第51页)。对平等的研究分为三个部分。第一部分名为“理论与历史”,涵盖了概念方面,涉及政治哲学、历史和多元文化理论。辩论是

Teaching the philosophical grounding of economics to economists: a 10 years' experience 向经济学家传授经济学的哲学基础:10年的经验

Ricardo F. Crespo
This brief contribution describes the author’s experience with teaching a course on philosophy of economics to students pursuing a master’s in economics. The main purpose of the course is to explore the philosophical assumptions underlying economic theories. I am a Visiting Professor at Universidad de Montevideo (Uruguay), where, every two years since 2011, I deliver a course on Philosophy of Economics in the master’s in economics Program (https://um.edu.uy/unidad-de-maestrias-ypostgrados-en-economia-umpe/oferta-academica/master/maestria-en-economia). Most students come from the undergraduate program at Universidad de la República (https://udelar.edu.uy/portal/2021/02/licenciatura-en-economia/) and at Universidad de Montevideo (https://um.edu.uy/facultad-de-cienciasempresariales-y-economia/oferta-academica/grado/economia). These programs feature a standard economics approach and have not fully incorporated new economic theory developments as behavioural economics, neuroeconomics, evolutionary economics, happiness economics, the capability approach, new institutional perspectives, among others. Peter Hammond defines the rationale underlying standard economics as preference maximizing by consumers and profit maximizing by firms (1997, p. 31). He adds, ‘there seems to be little evidence of rationality in actual behaviour. This is true even for special classes of experimental subjects like economics or business students, who are supposed to understand something of what it means to be rational’ (1997, pp. 32-33). I use the term ‘standard’ economics as Hammond does. The theories of rationality that standard economics adopts are the Rational Choice Theory Crespo F. Ricardo (2021), Teaching the philosophical grounding of economics to economists: a 10 years’ experience, The Journal of Philosophical Economics: Reflections on Economic and Social Issues, XIV (1-2), 218-226 The Journal of Philosophical Economics XIV (1-2) 2021 219 and the Expected Utility Theory, and both use the concept of instrumental rationality. Thus, they have a narrow view of the scope and potentials of economics, which translate into its failure to predict and prescribe. The new approaches mentioned above – especially behavioural economics as well as natural and lab experiments – have challenged the assumptions of standard economics. However, as Kevin Hoover has recently suggestively stated, Contemporary economics is pace Robbins and Mill favourable to empirical research and to the feedback from empirical results to economic theory. However, the Robbinsian first principles themselves are not the target for any revision within mainstream economics, but are held immutable as something like a Lakatosian hard core. Recalcitrant evidence may result in a revision of the details of the structure of constraints hypothesized in a problem, but is not allowed to weaken the commitment to the framework of constrained optimization (2021, p. S3322). In the same strain, Catherine Herfeld (2021, p. S33

Why is economics not part of a system of scientific ethics? A review essay on Wilfred Dolfsma and Ioana Negru’s The Ethical Formation of Economists 为什么经济学不是科学伦理体系的一部分?对Wilfred Dolfsma和Ioana Negru的《经济学家的伦理形成》的评论文章

Until the 1990s, the most used research and teaching materials for economists were print journal articles and print books. Since the Internet was commercialized in the 1990s, economists have used digital technologies in research and teaching. Journal articles and books are now more easily accessed. Online subscription systems allow economists to acquire electronic study and research materials in real time. Researchers can access a wealth of teaching and research materials freely and openly. In this essay [1], I focus on Wilfred Dolfsma and Ioana Negru’s The Ethical Formation of Economists (Dolfsma and Negru 2019) and claim that digital economics research requires a global understanding of ethics consistent with the values of scholarly practices. In the absence of scientific ethics, digital tools and software can harm the members of scholarly communities internationally and become a source of scientific misconduct. Economics should be taught as part of a system of scientific ethics.
直到20世纪90年代,经济学家使用最多的研究和教学材料是印刷期刊文章和印刷书籍。自20世纪90年代互联网商业化以来,经济学家在研究和教学中使用了数字技术。期刊文章和书籍现在更容易获取。在线订阅系统允许经济学家实时获取电子学习和研究材料。研究人员可以自由和公开地访问丰富的教学和研究材料。在这篇文章b[1]中,我专注于威尔弗雷德·多尔夫斯马和Ioana Negru的经济学家的伦理形成(Dolfsma和Negru 2019),并声称数字经济学研究需要对道德的全球理解与学术实践的价值观相一致。在缺乏科学伦理的情况下,数字工具和软件可能会损害国际学术界的成员,并成为科学不端行为的来源。经济学应该作为科学伦理体系的一部分来教授。

Comparing economic theories or: pluralism in economics and the need for a comparative approach to scientific research programmes 比较经济学理论或:经济学的多元主义和对科学研究计划采取比较方法的必要性
IF 0.2 Q4 ECONOMICS Pub Date : 2020-11-20 DOI: 10.46298/jpe.10740
A. Heise
Pluralism in economics appears to be a double-edged sword: we need more than one theory to grasp and explain the entire economic world, yet a plurality of possible explanations undermines the aspiration of the economic discipline to provide ‘objective knowledge’ in the singular of the ‘one world one truth’ conception. Therefore, pluralism is often equated with relativism and obscurantism. In this article, I will explore both the demand for pluralism and the fear of relativism and obscurantism, scrutinising each position in order to evaluate their respective justification and devising a methodological proposal that may appease both the defender and the sceptic of economic pluralism.
经济学中的多元主义似乎是一把双刃剑:我们需要不止一种理论来理解和解释整个经济世界,然而多种可能的解释破坏了经济学学科以“一个世界一个真相”概念的单数形式提供“客观知识”的愿望。因此,多元主义经常被等同于相对主义和蒙昧主义。在这篇文章中,我将探讨对多元主义的需求以及对相对主义和蒙昧主义的恐惧,仔细审查每一种立场,以评估其各自的理由,并设计一个方法论建议,以安抚经济多元主义捍卫者和怀疑者。

Nordhaus on philosophy in climate change economics 诺德豪斯在气候变化经济学中的哲学

Laurent Jodoin
Nordhaus' contribution to climate change economics is well-known and, for many, praiseworthy. But his refusal to acknowledge his normative stances is philosophically problematic. This article explores his arguments about philosophy in the economics of climate change found in his review of the Stern's Review (2007). It concludes that Nordhaus nonetheless relies on normative, ethical assumptions, whose oversight hinders the finding of a solution to the problems he tries himself to solve.
诺德豪斯对气候变化经济学的贡献是众所周知的,而且对许多人来说是值得称赞的。但他拒绝承认自己的规范性立场在哲学上是有问题的。本文探讨了他在《斯特恩评论》(2007)的评论中发现的关于气候变化经济学的哲学观点。它的结论是,诺德豪斯仍然依赖于规范的、道德的假设,而这些假设的疏忽阻碍了他试图自己解决的问题的解决。

In Marx’s thought, is ‘law of value’ a particular law of capitalism (historicism) or a general law of the economy (naturalism)? To clarify this ambiguity, this article proposes to employ the social ontology of Cornélius Castoriadis. For it, ‘labour’ is not a substance, but a recent historical creation through which, finally, the capitalist mode of production expresses a fundamental truth about all society’s way of being. From this perspective, we explore some consequences of this deconstruction for the theory of value as current neo-Marxist approaches may employ it today in their economic analyses.
在马克思的思想中,“价值规律”是资本主义的特殊规律(历史主义)还是经济的一般规律(自然主义)?为了澄清这种歧义,本文建议采用康·卡斯托里亚迪斯的社会本体论。对它来说,“劳动”不是一种物质,而是一种最近的历史创造,资本主义生产方式最终通过它表达了关于整个社会存在方式的基本真理。从这个角度来看,我们探讨了这种解构对价值理论的一些后果,因为当前的新马克思主义方法可能在他们的经济分析中使用它。
