Heterodoxy and Pluralist Ethos in Economics

Summary/Abstract: „Heterodox economics” refersto specific theories intended to be alternatives to mainstream (neoclassical) economicsin explaining economic phenomena. While some heterodox economists seem to remaincommitted to a Kuhnian „paradigmist” approach and want to impose their own„monism”, many others encourage a genuine intellectual diversity and an „egalitarianpluralism” (R. Garnett). We will examine here some controversial aspects of the relationbetween the heterodox intentions and the pluralist ethos in modern economics, and thenwe will try to elucidate how Kuhn’s concept of science was invoked as an argument forheterodox approaches of the economic reality.
