McCloskey, economics as conversation, and Sprachethik
指出麦克洛斯基在经济学修辞学中融合罗蒂与哈贝马斯两种哲学立场，但因未完全把握其根本差异而导致立场不一致，损害了其修辞学项目的有效性。
In writing about the 'rhetoric of economics' - particularly about the standards which prevent situations where 'anything goes' in argument - McCloskey takes an eclectic approach to two philosophical positions, based on Rorty and Habermas respectively. But these positions, despite sharing some common aspects, also differentiate themselves from each other sharply in important ways. In this paper, it is argued that this eclecticism of McCloskey is not coherent, as a result of her not completely grasping the fundamental differences between these two positions, and that this incoherence has damaging implications for her project of the rhetoric of economics.
