Until recently, economics has stood apart from the other social sciences due to its aprioristic methodology and assumptions. This has made it problematic for the project of philosophical naturalism. The situation has undergone rapid change, however, as empirical work come to impact fundamental economic theory. Instead of stipulating that economy be a mathematical theory of rationality, theorists are focusing on explanation and prediction of economic behaviour. Central to this has been a move away from idealised models of economic agents and toward empirically-based accounts of economic cognition. The workshop will discuss these changes and their impact upon how economics can be seen to fit into a naturalist account of reality, including how recent work in economics is beginning to suggest connections between it and work within the biological sciences.
