凯恩斯经济学方法的科学哲学评价

Philosophical Evaluation on Keynesian Economics Methodology

主流经济学在凯恩斯经济学形成之后,一直存在着争论,如何理解凯恩斯经济学理论的真谛,是当前研究现代经济学一个值得关注的问题,而在理解凯恩斯经济学理论中有关他的研究方法的哲学思想内涵是方法论的根本,也是构成其经济学理论的重要组成部分。本文以凯恩斯的《通论》为基础,分析凯恩斯经济学方法的哲学基础,并在方法论意义上进行了评价。分析结果表明,对于凯恩斯经济学的理解应当以全面发展的眼光看待,宏观经济学只是其理论起源的一个方面,追求经济思维的合理性和适应人类经济活动的需要是凯恩斯经济学方法论的根本。

There have been sharp disputes on the essence of Keynesian theory since the formation of mainstream economics. The philosophy of his research methodology is the key of his theory. This paper analyzes the philosophical basis of Keynesian theory based on General Theory. The results show that a holistic view should be adopted to understand Keynesian theory,that macro economics is just one part of his theoretical sources,and that the inquiry of economic rationality and human economic activities is the foundation of Keynesian methodology.
