خلاصه ماشینی:
The literary nature of economic rhetoric, its metaphorical character, the idea that irrationality is not an alternative to modernism, and the goodness of rhetoric constitute the final discussions.
(1) The article includes metaphors, allusions, and expressions from various sciences and disciplines, ranging from philosophy, logic, and art to economics, mathematics, law, sociology, linguistics, etc.
On the eve of the Cartesian revolution, the French philosopher and educational reformer "Peter Ramus" (1550) criticized the medieval tendency to attribute rhetoric solely to oratory; he condemned probabilistic reasoning in a textbook, which was considered suitable for the Cartesian program (which lasted three centuries and sought to base knowledge on the foundations of philosophy and mathematics).
2- The formal methodology of economics is modernist Economists have two perspectives regarding discourse: formal and informal, explicit and implicit; formal rhetoric, which they validate in abstract and methodological thought, addresses them as scientists in a modern manner.
Falsifiability is not convincing For example, the prescription that economic methodology generally holds, which is the emphasis on decisive falsifiability testing believed to be a sign of scientific reasoning.
The generative knowledge of economics depends less on what Michael Polanyi says (which is a kind of scientific rationalism that allows only explicit propositions based on palpable data to be believed, where these palpable data are extracted through formal deduction and subjected to repeated tests) [rather] the rhetoric of economics reveals what most economists know about the richness and complexity of economic reasoning, but do not express freely or examine explicitly.
