WHY DO ECONOMISTS AND PHILOSOPHERS RESORT TO THE HISTORY OF THEIR DISCIPLINE?

Résumé

Economists and historians resort to the history of their discipline, but history of economics is ancillary to economics, while history of philosophy is the necessary reference for philosophers. When philosophers adopt a stance usual in economics, the stance of "judged history",(as Pascal Bridel has done with great success), they use a dynamical perspective as a test for their theses. Formalization but also, more recently, experimentation, are such tests in economics, and systematization and its opposite, revision, are tests in philosophy. Philosophy and experimental economics are confronted to the problem of uncertainty and vagueness, but this problem might also be used as a test in both disciplines.
