2nd CES International Seminar on the Foundations of Economics
Facts, Values and Objectivity
19-20 March 2010, CES Seminar Room, 2nd Floor, Coimbra
> Online registration at www.ces.uc.pt/eventos/2_foundationseconomics.php
Presentation
By proposing a reflection on "Facts, Values and Objectivity" we do not intend to revisit past controversies on the same terms. Our concern is with questions insufficiently addressed that are presently becoming urgent, such as:
1. At a time when the normative burden of economics is increasing we still lack a clear understanding of how to engage as economists in deliberations that necessarily involve ends and values.
2. "The ethos of social science" – wrote Myrdal in the opening of Objectivity in Social Research – "is the search for 'objective' truth".
3. Given the changes in the institutional context of the creation of economic knowledge, namely its increasing commodification, the ethical pressures and challenges are mounting. More and more economists are aware of epistemic and normative uncertainties: Program
