摘要

This book on modelling in economics is a noteworthy instance of integrated history and philosophy of science (HPS). Mary S. Morgan begins by telling us that '[s]cience is messy', that she will 'eschew smoothness' and that her book is 'a series of historical case studies through which the philosophical commentary runs' (ⅹⅴ). These statements might lead the reader to expect a much more fragmented book than what Morgan actually offers. With respect to the history, the case studies fit in a broader narrative about the 'naturalization of modelling in economics' (Sec. 1.2). With respect to the philosophy, the singular to 'commentary' above is crucial: the philosophical commentary runs through the whole book instead of being fragmented into more or less independent commentaries for each case study. In the end, what Morgan wants to offer is 'a broader account of how economics became, and works, as a modelling science' (ⅹⅴ). The case-based method is simply the most effective way, according to Morgan, to get detailed clues for the broader account.

Morgan)首先告诉我们“科学是一团糟”,她将“避免顺理成章”,而她的书是“一系列历史案例研究,哲学评论贯穿其中”(ⅹⅴ)。这些陈述可能会使读者期望比Morgan实际提供的书更加零碎。关于历史,案例研究适合于关于“经济学建模自然化”的更广泛叙述(第1.2节)。对于哲学而言,上面的“注释”的单数至关重要:哲学注释贯穿于整本书,而不是针对每个案例研究分成或多或少独立的注释。最后,摩根想提供的是“更广泛地描述经济学作为建模科学的方式和运作方式”。摩根认为,基于案例的方法仅仅是获得更广泛线索的详细线索的最有效方法。
