Economic Science Pentalogy

Five
Volumes

A single directed argument across five structural layers

Five Volumes

Each volume addresses a distinct structural layer of the inquiry. The volumes form a single directed argument; each one makes the next possible to state with structural precision.

Vol. IThe Admissibility of Economic Science
Vol. IIThe Composition of Economic Science
Vol. IIIThe Representation of Economic Science
Vol. IVThe Dynamics of Economic Science
Vol. VThe Limits of Economic Science

The Admissibility of Economic Science

Do economic knowledge systems satisfy the structural conditions for scientific stabilization?

Volume I examines what structural conditions any knowledge system must satisfy to count as scientific, and whether economics satisfies them. The formal results establish the structural terms in which the admissibility question can be posed with precision.

Volume IIForthcoming

The Composition of Economic Science

What is economics structurally composed of?

Volume II examines the internal structure of economics as a knowledge system — the reflexive dynamics through which the discipline reconstitutes itself, the institutional conditions it presupposes, and the non-stationary character of its domain across time.

Volume IIIForthcoming

The Representation of Economic Science

What does economic representation require structurally?

Volume III examines the structural conditions economic representation requires — including the interference between two levels of representation that any adequate account must navigate. The formal architecture of representation, rather than its existing implementations, is the object of investigation.

Volume IVForthcoming

The Dynamics of Economic Science

How do economic knowledge systems evolve?

Volume IV maps the structural dynamics of economic science — dependency structures among its components, the trajectory types through which the discipline develops, and the conditions under which knowledge systems in this domain stabilize or fail to.

Volume VForthcoming

The Limits of Economic Science

What are the structural limits of economic science in principle?

Volume V addresses the reachability question the preceding volumes make possible to state: whether the structural conditions identified across the series are remediable in principle, or constitute permanent limits of the discipline.
