Non-Aristotelian Elements in Carl Menger's Methodology
挑战主流观点，论证门格尔方法论并非亚里士多德式，而是包含本质主义、先验知识、科学分类、价值中立和历史研究等非亚里士多德元素，构成一致的经济学方法论。
Abstract According to the dominant interpretation, Carl Menger, the founder of the Austrian school, was an Aristotelian methodologist of social science. As this article attempts to demonstrate, this influence was not decisive in shaping Menger's methodology. In fact, Menger shared several core positions with modern thinkers. Such non-Aristotelian threads in Menger tackled in the article encompass his views on essentialism and realism, a priori knowledge, the classification of sciences, and scientific value-freedom, as well as methods of historical inquiry. As is shown, while unattachable to any specific philosophical school, those five elements constitute a fairly consistent, non-Aristotelian account of economic methodology.
