Introduction
Economics on the Border is a student-run open seminar meant to fill the gap between economics and certain disciplines or fields of philosophical thought (such as continental and political philosophy) that are usually considered as "unaffiliated" with the methods and practices of 'mainstream' economic science. Seminars and seminal projects will therefore be run jointly by master students enrolled at EIPE (Erasmus Institute for Philosophy and Economics) and in the regular MA Philosophy at Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam. It is a "work in progress" series of seminars, run independently of EUR's curriculum and, both mostly and advisedly, it is open to any philosophy and/or economics student who wishes to discuss economics not only at the light, but also in virtue of continental philosophy tradition. For a more comprehensive description and info on the meetings please see below.
The seminar will be held bi-weekly on Dek22 at 22 Willem Buytewechstraat. For more specific information on the subjects discussed please see our Proposed Contributions page. Feel free to join our seminar -new participations and lecture proposals are more than welcome!
But most of all: feel free to speak and dare to think!
-Meeting on Tuesday 27th of October @ Dek22, Willem Buytewechstraat 22 (to be confirmed by Aetzel).
Each of us will try to discuss (within 15 min or so) certain problematic notions that lie between the three following fields
- political and ethical philosophy (normative philosophy)
- philosophy
- economics (mainly methodology / science; and the scientific ideal behind it)
Philosophy seems to provide the missing link between the other two. Yet philosophy itself seems to be divided itself (analytical/continental) -but at the same time it seems to provide the best place to start if we want to rethink the relation between the two fields. Within this framework let's try and discuss certain notions and the way they can be connected through these fields. To be more precise we can talk about "capitalism", "liberalism", "realism/real", "truth" (that's heavy!) or whatever notion seems problematic to the link between political philosophy, philosophy and economics. Let's try to identify some crucial short circuits and draw a kind of map!
