Excerpt from Total Utility and the Economic Judgment: Compared With Their Ethical Counterparts a Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of Bryn Mawr College for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
The general object of this study is to set forth the organic connection between certain concepts appearing as integral parts of modern ethical and economic theory, and to indicate several points of similarity in the logical processes which they involve. The position of the person who draws analogies between two sciences, or two fields of human thought, or who asserts paral lelisms and identities is one of peculiar difficulty. Not only are there, separate fields to cover, and separate philosophical and critical points of view to consider, but the difficulties of termin ology are great. The same words are often used in different subjects with a different connotation, or terms used in one science in a specialised sense, are often misleading or meaning less in another connection. This is especially true with respect to ethical and economic terminology, where such words as value, worth, interest, and many others receive in each science a specialised and technical meaning.
Nevertheless, it is necessary at all periods of speculative think ing to point out likenesses as well as differences; to emphasise grounds in common as well as specialised characteristics; and last of all, to apply methods found to be fruitful in one field of investigation to another, in hopes of attaining new or suggestive results. It is this latter point which I wish to emphasise. Anal ogies and parallelisms between Ethics and Economics may be multiplied ad libitum. They will always be suggestive for illus tration and example, but as such, have an explanatory rather than a scientific or definitive value. But in the course of specu lative thinking in the nineteenth century a subjective field of inquiry was Opened up to the political economist. A subjective side of modern economics has been definitely formulated in the study of the Subjective Factor in the determination of value; viz.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, written by an economics scholar, analyzes the relationship between certain concepts in contemporary ethical reasoning and those that have historically informed economic theory. The author argues that the "subjective factor" in economicsâ"the human element that influences valuation and decision-makingâ"has been shaped by contrasting and evolving ethical concepts throughout history. By tracing the development of utilitarianism and idealism in English ethics from the 17th century to the 19th century, the author demonstrates how economic theory has drawn on these ethical frameworks to explain economic phenomena. The work highlights the influence of ethical reasoning on economic thought, revealing the deep interconnectedness of these two disciplines and providing a new perspective on the foundations of economic theory.
