How Veblenian Evolutionary Thinking Transcends Methodological Individualism and Methodological Collectivism

The Veblenian evolutionary approach adopts some key philosophical and other principles from Darwinism. Among these is an insistence that every event has a cause. Hence, in particular, human intentionality is caused. This does not mean the neglect of human intentionality but the acceptance that it is...

L’approche évolutionniste veblennienne adopte certains des principes clés - philosophiques et autres - du darwinisme. Parmi ceux-ci on trouve l’insistance sur le fait que chaque événement a une cause. L’intentionnalité humaine, notamment, est actionnée par une cause. Ceci ne signifie pas un manque d’attention envers l’intentionnalité humaine, mais l’acceptation de ce qu’elle résulte d’une cause, même si les explications de telles causes demeurent vagues. Cet essai explore l’application à l’économie de ces principes, ainsi que d’autres principes darwiniens, par Veblen, il y a plus de cent ans, et montre que ces principes sont incompatibles à la fois avec l’individualisme méthodologique et avec le collectivisme méthodologique tels qu’ils sont conventionnellement définis.
