Philosophical Deliberation Of The Debate On The Nobel Prize In Economics Sciences

The Nobel Prize for Economics Sciences has been established for nearly fifty years.Its establishment has profound significance for the development of economics.The Nobel Prize for Economics Sciences reflects the history of economic development to some extent.However,for decades,this award has always been debated in many ways,such as the debate on the criteria for awards,the debate on the research methods and the ideology in prizes.The main question of this article is why the Nobel Prize in Economics Sciences can cause so much debate,what is the essence of its argument,and how to solve it.This article aims to comprehensively and systematically expound the essence and solution of the debates.At this stage,there are many research results at home and abroad on the Nobel Prize for Economics Sciences,but the study of the debate is not comprehensive,and lacks of systematic,for example,just a study of the debate on the selection criteria,or only study on the debate of results.The substantial analysis of debate is not accurate.Some people think that it is lack of standards,while others think it is restricted by politics,culture and other social factors.However,both of these views do not confront the essence of debate—the nature of economics.Therefore,the debate of this prize cannot be solved without reasonable theoretical basis in the process of debate.By a comprehensive and systematic study of the Nobel Prize for Economics Sciences,the author argues that the debate of prize can be divided into two aspects,one is the debate of appraisal system,and the other is the debate of social factors.Then,the author concludes that,the debate on the Nobel Prize for Economics Sciences is about the nature of economics itself.Whether economics is scientific or humanistic,this problem runs through the whole development history of the economic thoughts.Therefore,this debate will be completely solved when returning to the philosophy of economics,and even the whole philosophy of science.The philosophy of science is a philosophical discipline in the study of science,which includes the study of economics,that is,the philosophy of economics.This article,from the philosophy of science,especially from the philosophy of economics,discusses that the economics is not only science,but also human science,that is,economics is the unity of science and humanities.Based on this theory,the author puts forward some ideas on the solution of the Nobel Prize for Economics Sciences.The main reason for this controversy is that it only sees the side of economics,or only its scientific side,or its human side,but not to see economics is the unity of science and humanities.Economics is a social science with value judgment and cannot realize the "value neutrality" like "hard science"—the natural science.Therefore,if we can see from the nature of economics—the unity of science and humanity,we can profoundly understand the essence of debate and its solutions.The innovation of this article is to examine the nature of economics from the perspective of philosophy of science,and profoundly reveal the essence of Nobel Prize for Economics Sciences and its solution in the philosophy of economic.
