Much
of modern economics follows the scientific method to have a grip on
human conduct so that useful predictions are possible. This way,
economics as a discipline distanced itself from moral philosophy as it
was firstly thought by Adam Smith. Nevertheless, this presumption of
objectiveness has been accused of being very little objective,
separating economics into normative and positive economics as well as
originating the fact-value dichotomy. These distinctions are now being
disputed by the proposal of an entanglement of both facts and values
(Putnam, 2002; Dasgupta, 2005; Kincaid, Dupré, & Wylie, 2007; Reiss,
2008; Putnam & Walsh, 2011; Hausman, McPherson & Satz, 2017, et
al.). As so, it is possible to think about ways of doing economics with
moral, ethical or any other normative criteria.
This
panel seeks to promote an interesting debate between any scholar or
student (undergraduates included). We welcome works on subjects such as
value theory, normative economics, positive economics, economic
transformations in contemporary times, rational choice and utility
maximization, scientific method on economic theories, and others
regarding the main areas and topics proposed.
