Handbook of Teaching Philosophy to Economists
Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd (Verlag)
978-1-0353-3681-4 (ISBN)
The Handbook of Teaching Philosophy to Economists puts forward a deeper philosophical investigation of the assumptions that ground economic discourse and analysis as it is taught to new generations of students. Adopting a critical and reflective approach, the Handbook examines approaches to intergenerational and intragenerational justice, equity, health and well-being, and ecological and environmental issues, with a focus on the role, limits and scope of public policy. Adopting an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approach to teaching economics, it demonstrates the need for a deeper rethinking of economics education.
This Handbook is an invaluable tool for students and academics across economics. Its insights into methodological reflection will also greatly benefit educators and researchers in philosophy and economics.
