Boylan and O'Gorman's causal holism: a critical realist evaluation
从批判实在论视角评估博伊兰与奥戈尔曼提出的因果整体论，聚焦于不可观察实体、描述与解释等分歧，并勾勒批判实在论与因果整体论结合的经济学图景。
Boylan and O'Gorman have recently elaborated an interesting new perspective called causal holism, which attempts to go beyond developments in rhetoric and realism. The aim of this paper is to evaluate causal holism from the perspective of critical realism. Emphasis is placed primarily on three areas of disagreement: differential approaches to unobservable entities, description and explanation, although areas of agreement are also considered. The conclusion gives a sketch of what a critical realist/causal holist view of economics might look like.
