关于经济学作为一门学科的地位，存在着令人尴尬的两极分化，正如“沉闷的科学”和“社会科学女王”等绰号所反映的那样。该合集汇集了经济学方法论和哲学领域的一些领军人物，对当前有关经济知识的性质和局限性的争论进行了深思熟虑和平衡的概述。具有部分竞争和部分互补观点的作者研究抽象模型如何运作以及它们如何与现实世界联系，他们着眼于经济事实的特殊性质，并将注意力转向学术机构本身以及它们如何塑造经济研究。因此，我们从方法论、语义学、本体论、修辞学、社会学和科学经济学的角度来分析这些问题。
There is an embarrassing polarization of opinions about the status of economics as an academic discipline, as reflected in epithets such as the Dismal Science and the Queen of the Social Sciences. This collection brings together some of the leading figures in the methodology and philosophy of economics to provide a thoughtful and balanced overview of the current state of debate about the nature and limits of economic knowledge. Authors with partly rival and partly complementary perspectives examine how abstract models work and how they might connect with the real world, they look at the special nature of the facts about the economy, and they direct attention towards the academic institutions themselves and how they shape economic research. These issues are thus analysed from the point of view of methodology, semantics, ontology, rhetoric, sociology, and economics of science.
