Pragmatism in Economic Methodology: The Duhem-Quine Thesis Revisited

Contemporary developments in economicmethodology have produced a vibrant agenda ofcompeting positions. These include, amongothers, constructivism, critical realism andrhetoric, with each contributing to the Realistvs. Pragmatism debate in the philosophies of thesocial sciences. A major development in theneo-pragmatist contribution to economicmethodology has been Quine's pragmatic assaulton the dogmas of empiricism, which are nowclearly acknowledged within contemporaryeconomic methodology. This assault isencapsulated in the celebrated Duhem-Quinethesis, which according to a number ofcontemporary leading philosophers of economics,poses a particularly serious methodologicalproblem for economics. This problem, asreflected in Hausman's analysis, consists ofthe inability of economics to learn fromexperience, thereby subverting the capacity totest economic theories. In this paper wedispute this position. Our argument is basedon a combination of Quine's holism with VanFraassen's constructive empiricism, especiallythe latter's analysis of empirical adequacy andhis pragmatic approach to explanation. Theresulting reorientation of economic methodologyrestores the capacity of economics to learnfrom experience and reinstates the imperativeof developing alternatives to orthodoxtheorizing in economics.

论法律部门的划分标准与经济法的地位

传统法律部门的划分因其片面强调客观性和按法律调整的社会关系的性质来划分法律部门而有着固有的、难以弥补的缺陷，因此要令人信服地说明经济法作为独立的部门法的地位，就必须抛弃旧的框框，按主客观一致，以主观为主导的指导思想。重新来确定法律部门的划分标准。

A ROBUST DECOMPOSITION OF LINEAR PROGRAMMING USING A GOAL-PARTITIONING METHOD

The Dantzig/Wolfe linear programming decomposition algorithm has had important economicinterpretations as well as a widespread impact on solving large scale linear programming problem.Inthis paper we consider a similar underlying structure,where however there is only one couplinginequality or equation.With this simplification,we demonstrate how to achieve an equitable partitionof the overall coupling resource to individual subproblem constraints through a simple iterationprocedure which appears to be very efficient.     

具有完整性的控制系统设计方法

该文研究线性连续系统的容错控制问题，即设计反馈控制器，使闭环系统对可能的执行器失效具有完整性。该文利用代数方法，直接证明了期望的容错控制器的存在性，并导出了其解析表达式。最后，用数值例子说明这种方法的直接性与简单性。     

断裂带中岩石硅化的微束研究

断裂带中岩石的硅化现象,通常称之为硅化岩或硅化破碎带,即经动力变质作用的断层岩,通过微束技术对其观察,它们显示出下列特征:在扫描电镜(SEM)下,硅化物质表现为细脉状,而在偏光里微镜下则表现为浸染状;对硅化岩进行组构观察,可见压扁 S 面和剪切 S 面;在透射电镜(TEM)下,可进一步区别不同的位错现象;断裂带岩石的硅化现象是受组成岩石的化学元素的构造地球化学作用所制约的,包括动力分异和化学亲和作用,动热变质作用和退化变质作用,氧化和还原作用以及脱水和水解作用。
