Opis

This study offers a perspective on Walras's pure, applied and social economics. Through archival research at the University of Lausanne, the author considers Walrus's ideas on the philosophy of science based on a newly constructed taxonomy. Walras's work is placed in a broader context by stressing the 19th-century cultural and historical background in which he lived. This gives an insight into the relationship between the Romanticism of the early 19th century and the logical positivism of the 20th century.
