Modern Epistemology against Analytic Philosophy: A Reply
针对Maki对McCloskey三本经济学修辞著作的评论，McCloskey回应指出现代认识论拒绝在符合论与融贯论之间二选一，认为经济学论证有多种合理方式，受伦理约束，修辞比1955年风格的分析哲学更有效。
Uskali Maki read three books by McCloskey on the "rhetoric of economics" with sympathy. But he wants McCloskey to choose between a coherence and a correspondence theory of truth. McCloskey notes in reply that modern epistemology - by contrast with the analytic philosophy circa 1955 that many philosophers of economics espouse - rejects the choice. Modern epistemology would say that economic scientists argue in many legitimate ways, governed by ethics. In brief, as Maki agrees, economics has a rhetoric. Rhetoric is a better guide than 1955-style analytic philosophy.
