Microeconomics
Theory with Applications (7th edn)

(Pearson/Prentice Hall, 2009)
ART 376

Economics provides people with a way to understand everyday human behaviour. Microeconomics: Theory with Applications teaches students how to look at the world in a different way.  Using a variety of applications and lively and interesting examples, this new edition brings the theory to life.

A real-world emphasis is demonstrated throughout the text to reinforce the understanding of economic theory and at the same time to show how theory can be used to explore specific economic models to address specific questions.

Carnaps Wissenschaftslogik
An Investigation into the Dual-Level Conception

(Mentis, 2020)
ART 210

Carnap describes the logic of science as the discipline that was to succeed traditional philosophy in the 20th century. The central point of reference of Carnap’s work is the mathematical logic developed by Frege and Russell. This also applies to the dual-level conception of scientific theories. Carnap explicitly recognizes that the meaning of theoretical terms depends on the axioms of the respective theory. Thereby, he overcomes the dogmas of empiricism within logical empiricism. However, Carnap does not fully specify the formal semantics of theoretical terms so that the overcoming of the dogmas of empiricism remains incomplete. This is the basis of the essential task of the present study, which consists in precisely describing the interpretation of theoretical terms through postulates within the framework of mathematical logic. In its entirety, the present treatise can be read as an attempt to continue the discussion with Carnap begun by Wolfgang Stegmüller.

Norm and Nature

(Oxford University Press, 1992)
ART 210

Norm and Nature deals with the traditional conflict in legal philosophy between positivistic and anti-positivistic theories of law. It examines the conflict with respect to seven central issues in legal philosophy – law as a reason for action, law and authority, the internal point of view to law, the acceptance of law, discretion and principle, interpretation and semantics, and law and the common good.

It has three theses. Firstly, that the opposition to positivism is based on acceptance of, rather than rejection of, claims made by positivism. Secondly, that the conflict between positivism and anti-positivism is irresolvable and finally, that the understanding of why this is so is the key to the understanding of the nature of law. Tension between formal and substantive considerations comprises the essence of law. The central theses presuppose that anti-positivism or natural law theory is defensible as an account of the nature of law. More than half the book, therefore, is a criticism of the prevailing orthodoxy of legal positivism and a defence of an anti-positivist view, making Norm and Nature important not only for the originality of its central theses, but also for its critique of positivism and for the thoroughness of its examination of contemporary legal thought.
