摘要：In recent times, realism in economic methodology has
increasingly gained importance. Uskali Mäki and Tony Lawson are the
best-known realists within the discipline and even though their
approaches are fundamentally different, both provide (among others)
pragmatic defences of realism by claiming anti-realism to be the reason
for the low quality of (some) economic models. My paper will show
that a pragmatic defence of realism is untenable and furthermore, I will
show that for both Mäki’s and Lawson’s normative ideas there is no
need for realism.
