Rationalism and Anti-Rationalism in the Origins of Economics

Author

Listed:
  • William O. Coleman

Abstract

This major new study of the philosophical roots of economics examines the impact on eighteenth century economic thought of the rivalry between two opposing philosophical outlooks: rationalism and anti-rationalism. The economic thought of this period, William Coleman argues, was a synthesis of these two outlooks.
