Abstract

As the libertarian philosopher, D. Gordon pointed out in his article, The Philosophical Origins of Austrian Economics, philosophy has been an accompanying presence at every stage in the development of Austrian economics. The purpose of the presentation is to briefly review the philosophical origins and the philosophical foundations of Austrian economics, emphasizing the influence of Aristotelian realism on Austrian economic theory. The main problem addressed in the presentation are: (1) whether Aristotelian realism had a decisive influence on Carl Mengers’ thinking; (2) whether the Misesian perspective on praxeology is reconcilable with Carl Menger’s underlying philosophy.
