ABSTRACT

In economic methodology, a complete turn to practice is hampered by a broadly shared normative stance towards practice. The root of this normativism is Platonism. Platonism presupposes in essence a well-ordered and harmonious world, which allows for neat categorizations and norms that are implied by them. Science, however, is messy, and any categorization is in the eye of the beholder. This article argues therefore for a more instrumental use of a-posteriori categorizations that are based on empirical studies of the practice in question.

退出规范主义

抽象的

在经济方法论中，对实践的完全统一的规范立场阻碍了对实践的完全转向。这种规范主义的根源是柏拉图主义。柏拉图主义本质上是一个秩序井然，和谐的世界，它允许它们隐含的整洁的分类和规范。然而，科学是一团糟，任何分类都在情人眼中。因此，本文认为，应基于对有关实践的实证研究，对后验分类进行更有效的利用。
