I,Roboticus OeconomicusThe philosophy of mind in economics, and why it matters
向经济学引入心灵哲学，考察经济学家在理论构建中对心灵哲学的预设，指出多数人持有人工智能式的心理过程观，并论证这种立场会深刻影响经济本体论，决定经济世界是决定论还是非决定论的。
In this essay I seek to introduce the philosophy of mind to economics, and investigate what presuppositions economists make vis-<a><ac>a</ac><ac>&grave;</ac></a>-vis the philosophy of mind in their theorising with a focus on the model-based theoretical paradigms within economics. I argue that most economists adhere to what John Searle has termed an ‘artificial intelligence’ view of mental processes, to varying degrees of strength. I also argue that adherence, knowing or unknowing, to a particular philosophy of mind can have profound effects on the ontology of the economy, which is implied as a logical consequence of such philosophy, either binding us to a ‘clockwork’ view of the universe or to a non-deterministic one in which fundamental uncertainty exists.
