Abstract

In Preference, Value, Choice, and Welfare, I argued, among other things, that preferences in economics are and ought to be total subjective comparative evaluations, that the theory of rational choice is a reformulation of everyday folk-psychological explanations and predictions of behaviour, and that revealed preference theory is completely untenable. All three of these theses have been challenged in essays by Erik Angner (2018), Francesco Guala (2019) and Johanna Thoma (2021a, 2021b). This essay responds to these criticisms and defends these three theses.

主观总比较评价

在《偏好、价值、选择和福利》一书中，我认为，经济学中的偏好是而且应该是完全主观的比较评估，理性选择理论是对日常的民间心理学解释和行为预测的重新表述，而揭示的偏好理论是完全站不住脚的。Erik Angner (2018)， Francesco Guala(2019)和Johanna Thoma (2021a, 2021b)的文章对这三个论点都提出了挑战。本文回应了这些批评，并为这三个论点进行了辩护。

期刊介绍： The disciplines of economics and philosophy each possess their own special analytical methods, whose combination is powerful and fruitful. Each discipline can be enriched by the other. Economics and Philosophy aims to promote their mutual enrichment by publishing articles and book reviews in all areas linking these subjects. Topics include the methodology and epistemology of economics, the foundations of decision theory and game theory, the nature of rational choice in general, historical work on economics with a philosophical purpose, ethical issues in economics, the use of economic techniques in ethical theory, and many other subjects.
