Just wondering... in terms of epistemology in the social sciences..  the economic branch has praxeology etc..

What about the others though? Does it apply to them all aswell?

"The social sciences or social studies comprise academic disciplines in the arts and humanities concerned with the study of the social life of human groups, animals and individuals including anthropology, archeology, communication studies, cultural studies, demography, economics, human geography, history, linguistics, media studies, political science, psychology, social work, and sociology."

Nice to see you again on the forums. :)

I would like to know your opinion about this:

  • Praxeology: Yes, but not psychologism
  • Natural rights: Yes, but not based on traditional libertarian arguments

    I favour praxeology (though I'll read HA again because there were several points I have doubts), and was a natural rights libertarian (very Rothbardian) but now I defend libertarianism through values (individualism) because I don't consider that you can get the idea of private property rights from the self-ownership axiom, I think it's a non-sequitur.

    Then, what do you refer by psychologism? Thanks BP!

    I just read about the Libertarian Alliance contest, about how large corporations would not exist without government. You should enter; most of your blog articles are already talking about the topic, and I'd love to see what you write about it.
