“伽利略传统”与经济学实证方法

Galileo's Tradition and Economic positivism

经典力学中诞生的“伽利略传统”对经济学方法有很大的影响。实证主义把整个人类文化看成是以实证为基础的知识体系,把科学方法的某一方面夸大为科学理论的唯一出发点,走向了片面性。在现代经济学中,一方面模型方法发挥着越来越大的作用,体现了经济学方法的进步;另一方面,我们应该看到,经济学与物理学有本质差异,它没有典型的物理意义上的实验,同时它又包含物理学所没有的人与人的关系。因此,经济学既要合理地继承“伽利略传统”,又要注重社会历史、文化和民族心理等因素。

Emerged from Classical mechanics,Galileo's Tradition has a great influence upon economic method, positivist consider the whole human culture as a knowledge system based on positivism, and the one -method as the only starting point of scientific theory. On the one hand models are playing more and more important pait in modern elonomics. And on the other hand,we should see that economics distincts essentially from physics since it has no typical physical test and contains human relations which doesn't exist in physics. So elonomics should carry forwand Galileo's tradition as Well as attach importance to such elements as socialy. history. Culture and national psychologyets.
