Abstract

Elements of a Post-Classical Synthesis In the first part of the paper the presuppositions of the neoclassical research program are opposed to the presuppositions of the post-classical research program: the former are instrumentalism, individualism, substantive rationality and scarcity; the latter are realism, organicism, procedural rationality and production. In the second part, the presuppositions of the post-classical program are exemplified within several post-classical theories, such as the theory of production, consumer's theory, the theory of inflation, and so on. It is shown that these various theories can be considered to form a coherent set when they are being viewed in the light of the presuppositions defined above. Dans la première partie, l’auteur oppose les présupposés du programme de recherche néo-classique aux présupposés du programme de recherche post-classique : l’instrumentalisme, l’individualisme, la rationalité globale et la rareté d’une part; le réalisme, l’organicisme, la rationalité procédurale et la production d’autre part. Dans la deuxième partie, ces présupposés du programme post-classique sont présentés dans le cadre des différentes théories post-classiques, telles que la théorie de la production, celle du consommateur, la théorie de l’inflation, etc. Il est démontré que ces diverses théories forment un tout cohérent lorsqu’on les regarde à la lumière des présupposés définis plus haut.
