Abstract
Methodological pluralism, understood as the advocacy of plurality, has become commonplace among methodologists. Indeed, Salanti (1997, p. 7) went so far as to state in his introduction to the pluralism conference volume that ‘all people interested in economic methodology seem to be, in a broad sense, ready to endorse one kind or another of “pluralism”’. More recently, the plurality and pluralism of modern methodological thought is set out in Hands’s (2001) account of what he calls the ‘new economic methodology’. Indeed, the idea of pluralism has been taken up more widely, not only within economic methodology, but also within economic practice itself. There is now a grouping of around 40 international organisations in ICAPE, the International Confederation of Associations for Pluralism in Economics. At the theoretical and policy levels too, there has been an explicit expression of pluralism.
