Features: The research in this book involves two prominent developments that emerged in the economics methodology literature of the 1980s. These two developments, from their respective standpoints, represent two extremes within the scope of methodology. At one end of this spectrum is realism, more precisely scientific realism, as articulated in the works of Lawson and McGeer, which is deeply embedded in the philosophy of science as a source of methodological insight.
