Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
Aims and ContentThe aim of this course is to introduce students to problems discussed in economics in the 20th century. These problems are problems of economic theory as well as epistemological and methodological problems because contemporary authors frequently maintain that it is possible to solve open problems in economic theory by solving methodological ones. Although historically oriented, this course is mainly analytical and discusses the development of economic ideas by analysing problem situations, problems, and proposed solutions as well as resulting controversies. Diligent students will learn to make sense of and evaluate the historical background as well as the performance of economic theories and methodological positions in the 20th century, as well as the main criticisms and later developments of those controversies which implicitly still cover much ground in present day discussions.MethodsTeaching consists of one unbroken 90-minute seminar; discussion of different text passages which students are invited to prepare on the basis of questions distributed in advance for every lecture.
