LÉON WALRAS: NEOKLASİK İKTİSADIN "FİZİKO-MATEMATİKSEL" BİR BİLİM OLARAK İNŞASI

Yıl 2017, ICMEB17 Özel Sayısı, 131 - 142, 01.12.2017

Öz

Neoklasik iktisadın kurucuları arasında yer alan Walras, iktisat disiplininin klasik ekonomi politikten neoklasik iktisada geçiş sürecindeki belki de en önemli isimdir. Pozitivist bilim anlayışını benimseyen Walras, çalışma sahasını "iktisadın pür teorisi" olarak adlandırdığı bölümle sınırlandırmıştır. Walras, bu çerçevede, iktisadı doğa bilimleri ve bilhassa fizik gibi tahayyül etmiş ve iktisadi analizde matematiğin kullanılmasının zaruri olduğunu savunmuştur. Bu çalışmada da, Walras'ın neoklasik iktisadın oluşumundaki rolünü vurgulamak amacıyla, öncelikle Walras'ın "bilim" ve "iktisat" tahayyülleri ele alınacak, daha sonra ise "birey" tahayyülü üzerinde durulacaktır.

LÉON WALRAS: THE BUILDING OF NEOCLASSICAL ECONOMICS AS A PSYCHO-MATHEMATICAL SCIENCE

Yıl 2017, ICMEB17 Özel Sayısı, 131 - 142, 01.12.2017

Öz

Walras, one of the founders of neoclassical economics, is maybe the most important figure in transition process from classical political economy to neoclassical economics. Walras espoused positivist scientific approach and confined his field of study to "the pure theory of economics" as he dubbed it. Walras consequently conceived economics like natural sciences, especially physics, and argued that it was necessary to use mathematics in economic analysis. In this paper, in order to emphasize the role of Walras in formation of neoclassical economics, firstly Walras' conceptions of "science" and "economics" and then his conception of "individual" will be elaborated
