Description of the research topic:

Critiques of mainstream economics theories claim the 2008 economic crisis to be an indicator of the deficiencies of those theories because the crisis could not be foreseen, managed, and even explained in the traditional conceptual and methodological framework. The project aims at investigating the philosophical presuppositions and methodological commitments (incl. idealisation, rational agents, transitive preferences, etc. ) of rational choice theory as a background theory for mainstream economics, in order to explore the problems and develop a response to the criticism.
