Q4 on 1.2.1. to 1.2.4.: What is Economics in A Broader Project of Social Science?

What is Economics in A Broader Project of Social Science?

(Based on Robbins, L. (2007). An essay on the nature and significance of economic science.)

We may deduce the following from 1.2.1 to 1.2.4:

A) Buying and selling are now aspects of behaviour.

B) Accordingly, the market is now an abstract idea, an aspect of any engagement.

C) These markets are frequently established in almost all engagements of social nature. The instances of economic nature - the instances where multiple scarce-substitutable means and multiple immutable-conflicting ends shape behaviour - are not infrequent in rest of sciences.

D) These markets - instances of economic nature - play a central role in almost all of the social sciences - the act of choosing from various means with alternative uses shapes almost all spheres of life.

E) Accordingly, the empirical findings of other sciences where aforesaid market exists fall within the scope of economics.

F) Economics Analysis can provide the economic rationale of these empirical findings.

G) Economics is primarily a deductive-mathematical branch of knowledge aimed at providing logical explanations of choice rather than pointing to regularities.

H) For so long as A-D holds true, Economics can provide the Mathematical Foundations for problems of Social Sciences dealing with choice.

I) However, since the problems are universal, and shape everything, we may say: Economics can act as the Mathematics of The Social Science.

J) Or simply, Economics is the Mathematics of Social Science.

However, this is subject to the answers of all aforesaid questions we raised earlier.

Brainstorming: What is Importance of Attention Direction?

Brainstorming: What is Importance of Attention Direction? Notes: It is useful for every apprentice to brainstorm and organize their ideas on important topics. This helps recall, and also discover logical gaps, or other weaknesses. I have attempted to do the same here. You may use it to develop your own diagram to organize and refine your own thoughts around the question in the title. See Project Concept Maps (Slide on Concept Maps) for understanding how these diagrams were made. You may download the picture to see it full size (Left Click on the picture, and select Save As.)

2.1.0. Primacy of the Need Satiation.

D.1. Primacy of the Need Satiation: All humans strive for satiation of their Needs, and this forms the primary cause of all the variations in an Economy. Axiomatic Derivation: 1. All Humans have Needs (See Need for concept details). 2. All self aware organisms are aware of their Needs, and consequences of thwarting these Needs. 3. All self aware organisms are also organisms who wish to secure their existence . 4. All self aware organisms, following 2 and 3, strive for satiation of their Needs. 5. Humans are self aware organisms. 6. Humans being self aware strive for satiation of their Needs. 7. The sum of all such strives by various individuals form an Economy, or Market. 8. Alternatively, strive for satiation of the human needs forms the principle cause of all the variations in an Economy. 9. NOTE: For an elaboration of this, an explanation below shall be appended soon.
