The Philosophy of Causality in Economics
Approximately one in six top economic research papers draws an explicitly causal conclusion. But what do economists mean when they conclude that A ‘causes’ B? Does ‘cause’ say that we can influence B by intervening on A, or is it only a label for the correlation of variables? Do quantitative analyses of observational data followed by such causal inferences constitute sufficient grounds for guiding economic policymaking? The Philosophy of Causality in Economics addresses these questions by analyzing the meaning of causal claims made by economists and the philosophical presuppositions underlying the research methods used. The book considers five key causal approaches: the regularity ap...
The Morality of Economic Behaviour
The links between self-interest and morality have been examined in moral philosophy since Plato. Economics is a mostly value-free discipline, having lost its original ethical dimension as described by Adam Smith. Examining moral philosophy through the framework provided by economics offers new insights into both disciplines and the discussion on the origins and nature of morality. The Morality of Economic Behaviour: Economics as Ethics argues that moral behaviour does not need to be exogenously encouraged or enforced because morality is a side effect of interactions between self-interested agents. The argument relies on two important parameters: behaviour in a social environment and the effe...
The Positive and the Normative in Economic Thought
The book responds to the need for greater clarity regarding the relationship between descriptive, evaluative and prescriptive approaches within positive and normative economics. It also analyses the entanglement between evaluative and prescriptive perspectives within several theoretical frameworks in normative economics such as social choice theory, the capability approach, behavioural welfare economics and various theories of justice. It provides a forum for discussion between various schools of economic thought and several theoretical frameworks on the relationship between the study of facts, norms and values, with particular emphasis on classical political economy, the Marxian school of e...
Investigations of Explanatory Strategies in Linguistics
Linguistic theories often suffer from the dilemma that their explanatory power is based on extra-linguistic assumptions. The book delineates the essence of linguistic theory and linguistic explanation and, in doing so, proposes a solution to the dilemma. Simultaneously, the book is one of the first attempts to profile the philosophy of linguistics as a distinct sub-discipline of the contemporary philosophy of science.

Teorie nauk humanistycznych
The textbook introduces basic humanities and social science reflections on science, specifically in the individual chapters on philosophy, historiography and sociology of science. For each scientific reflection, its historical origins and motivations for its establishment are presented, the main themes for it are identified, and then the pitfalls of such a narrowly defined view of science are assessed. The final section of each chapter, in turn, is devoted to highlighting the main advantages of a special-science reflection on science. The last chapter plays a special role in the data-scientific reflection of science, in order to distinguish it from narrowly defined scientometrics. The main aim of the textbook is to show that the most meaningful reflection on science is represented by comprehensive Science and Technology Studies. The book is intended for students at all levels of undergraduate study.
