略论“经济人”假说是西方经济学的基础——兼论理性主义对古典经济学理论的影响

On the Hypothesis of "Economist" as the Base of Western Economics——also on the Rationalism′s Influence on the Theory of Classical Economics

斯密的经济人假说,使得经济学理论研究的公理化、逻辑化成为可能,使经济学开始成为一门独立的学科。按库恩的说法,经济人正是经济学的第一个“范式”。古典经济学理论从诞生那一天起,就深深地打上了理性主义的烙印。

Adam Smith＇s hypothesis of “economist” made the research on economical theory axiomatized and logicized, and it helped the economics become an independent subject. According to Kuhn, “economist” is the basic model of economics. The classical economical theory has got the stigma of rationalism since its naissance.
