| Abstract: | The kind of problems addressed by a given science and the set of techniques for analyzing them rest upon what philosophy of science defines as a "scientific paradigm," or a "disciplinary matrix". This paper aims to analyze the disciplinary matrix embodied in socioeconomic thought. First , the author appraises the disciplinary matrix underlying neoclassical economics as the "orthodox" branch of modern economic analysis. Methodological individualism and utilitarianism are the two cornerstones of contemporary economic thinking. |
