ABSTRACT ▼
The article deals with the philosophical principles, and philosophical reflection of economic science. The article argues that the philosophy of science is the methodological and theoretical basis of the philosophy of economics. Five dimensions of the philosophy of science reveal its main content and have a fundamental character both for their own philosophy, and for theoretical and empirical sciences, including the economics. Ontological cut determines the subject field, the deep meaning of the sciences of nature, society and man; the epistemological one reveals the genesis, structure, dynamics and functions of scientific knowledge; the axiological one focuses attention on value systems and landmarks; the logical one looks for the relationship between the logic of the universe and the logic of its scientific reflection; and the methodological one explores methods and ways of improving and obtaining new knowledge.
The proposed article, on the one hand, rests on the historical heritage of the philosophical foundations of economic existence, which gives it a philosophical dimension and creates an appropriate world outlook. Meaning a general philosophical, metaphysical vision of the economic world. On the other hand, there is a problem of the so-called philosophical calibration (testing) of economic science, economic theory in the context of modern philosophical standards through the means of theoretical and practical philosophy. Different views on the subject of the philosophy of economics are analyzed. The positivist interpretation of the philosophy of economics in the broad sense includes economic ontology, methodology and epistemology of economics, as well as rational choice, decision-making theory, game theory, and economic ethics and justice.
In the narrow pragmatic sense, the philosophy of economics is interpreted as interaction of people, institutions (firms, countries) in their historical development with the application of the theory of games, and linear and dynamic programming.
The article considers conceptual interpretations of the philosophy of economics, in particular, the philosophical (metaphysical) and historico-economic interpretations. The author provides a comparative description of the "new", "old" and "non-mainstream" (non-orthodox) philosophy of economics. Presented the interpretation of positive and normative economics by philosophers and economists.
Keywords: philosophy of science, philosophy of economics, ontology, epistemology, methodology, positive economics, normative economics
