Invitation Text
As a moral philosopher, Adam Smith, the founder of the classical economics, was already a social scientist, according to this job title. Since then, the self-conception of economics has developed itself into another direction: “More geometrico” was viewed as the ideal and in today’s presence, the socio- and historical background seem hardly present anymore. “Socioeconomics” contradict this development.
The disciplinary foundation of socioeconomics, its scientific and didactical facets as well as questions of impact research shall be topics of our conference. Presuming that socioeconomics is not a natural, but rather a multiparadigmatic social science, we will research the question, whether – and if so, to what extent – scientific principles of interdisciplinarity, pluralism and ethics are integrable into university-related and scientific didactical conceptions.
