A Dialogue on Republicanism
Les deux interlocuteurs, le philosophe Philip Pettit et un de ses étudiants, échangent leurs points de vue sur la philosophie politique et économique libérale au cours d’un déjeuner à Prospect House, le cercle des professeurs de l’université Princeton. Le dialogue commence par des clarifications sur la notion de liberté puis, en réponse aux objections de l’étudiant, Pettit présente, défend et illustre sa propre conception de la liberté comme non-…
Science, institutions, and values
This paper articulates and defends three interconnected claims: firstly, that the debate on the role of values for science misses a crucial dimension, the institutional one; secondly, that institutions occupy the intermediate level between scientific activities and values and that they are to be systematically integrated into the analysis; thirdly, that the appraisal of the institutions of science with respect to values should be undertaken withi…
Institutions and Scientific Progress
Scientific progress has many facets and can be conceptualized in different ways, for example in terms of problem-solving, of truthlikeness or of growth of knowledge. The main claim of the paper is that the most important prerequisite of scientific progress is the institutionalization of competition and criticism. An institutional framework appropriately channeling competition and criticism is the crucial factor determining the direction and rate …
A Dialogue on Understanding
This paper written as a dialogue between two interlocutors, Julie and a Student, deals with Understanding and its role in the social sciences. The fictional dialogue takes place in Hannover, Germany, and the interlocutors are exchanging arguments about Verstehen and how it should be conceptualized in the philosophy of the social sciences. A range of different approaches is discussed and a naturalistic strategy emerges as a defensible alternative

On the Legitimacy of Intervention
»Vielmehr bietet [der Kommentar] auf höchstem Niveau eine substantielle Auseinandersetzung mit den Hintergründen, den Zusammenhängen, der Theorie und der Praxis des Grundgesetzes. Besseres lässt sich von einem Verfassungskommentar nicht sagen.“ Herbert Günther Staaatsanzeiger für das Land Hessen 2018 (50), 1494–1495
O círculo hermenêutico
O círculo hermenêutico é utilizado por todos os que defendem a tese da autonomia metodológica das ciências humanas em relação às ciências naturais. Em geral, ele é considerado, pelos hermeneutas, ou como um problema ontológico, ou como um problema lógico. O objetivo do artigo é mostrar que não se trata nem de uma coisa nem de outra. Tudo indica que o círculo hermenêutico é um fenômeno empírico, que pode ser estudado pela psicolinguística e por ou…
Individuen, Institutionen und Märkte
C. Mantzavinos entwickelt eine Theorie der Entstehung des institutionellen Rahmens einer Gesellschaft und der Funktionsweise von Märkten innerhalb dieses Rahmens. Er zeigt, dass sowohl Institutionen, d.h. Spielregeln, als auch Austauschprozesse mit Hilfe einer gemeinsamen theoretischen Struktur analysiert werden können. »Die Institutionenanalyse hat jüngst Fortschritte in der Ausweitung ihrer Domäne gemacht und sich Fragen des Wissens und der Kog…
Faye’s naturalistic reconstruction of the humanities
Le cercle herméneutique
Le cercle herméneutique a été utilisé par tous ceux qui ont défendu la thèse de l'autonomie méthodologique des sciences humaines par rapport aux sciences naturelles. Il est généralement perçu comme un problème ontologique ou logique par les Herméneutistes. Le but de cet article est de montrer que le cercle herméneutique n'est ni l'un ni l'autre. Tout indique, plutôt, qu'il fait référence à un phénomène empirique, qui peut être étudié dans le cadr…
Philosophy of the Social Sciences
The Ethical Project. A Dialogue
In this dialogue the position of Pragmatic Naturalism as defended in Philip Kitcher’s The Ethical Project is presented and criticized. The approach is developed dialectically by the two interlocutors and a series of critical points are debated. The dialogical form is intended to honor the main objective in The Ethical Project: to establish an ongoing conversation on ways to improve moral conceptions and processes, which grow naturally out of the …
Explanations of Meaningful Actions
There is a long tradition in philosophy and the social sciences that emphasizes the meaningfulness of human action. This tradition doubts or even negates the possibility of causal explanations of human action precisely on the basis that human actions have meaning. This article provides an argument in favor of methodological naturalism in the social sciences. It grants the main argument of the Interpretivists, that is, that human actions are meani…

Apprentissage, institutions et performance économique
Dans cet article, nous offrons un large aperçu des interactions entre cognition, systèmes de croyances et institutions, et comment elles affectent la performance économique. Nous estimons qu'une meilleure compréhension de l'émergence des institutions, de leurs propriétés de fonctionnement et de leurs effets sur les résultats politiques et économiques doit commencer par une analyse des processus cognitifs. Nous explorons la nature de l'apprentissa…

Was für ein Problem ist der hermeneutische Zirkel
The hermeneutic circle serves as a standard argument for all those who raise a claim to the autonomy of the human sciences. The proponents of an alternative methodology for the human sciences present the hermeneutic circle either as an ontological problem or as a specific methodological problem in the social sciences and the humanities. In this paper I would like to check the soundness of this argument. I will start with listing and shortly sketc…
Lernen, Institutionen und Wirtschaftsleistung
This article provides a broad overview of the interplay among cognition, belief systems and institutions, fleshing out a position best characterized as ‚cognitive institutionalism‘. We argue that a deeper understanding of institutions’ emergence, their working properties and their effect on economic performance should start with the analysis of cognitive processes. Exploring the nature of individual and collective learning the article suggests th…
