Theory and History

In "Theory and History," Ludwig von Mises explores the foundations of social science, emphasizing his concept of methodological dualism that differentiates the approaches between hard sciences and social sciences. This work delves into the epistemology of economic propositions, critiques alternative frameworks such as historicism and Marxian dialectical materialism, and addresses complex issues like determinism and free will. Mises presents a clear and compelling defense of his methodology, making this an essential read for anyone interested in 20th-century thought and the discipline of Austrian economics.
