Post what you're currently reading and what you'll be reading after.

Roger Bacon - Opus Majus
Jacob Marschak - Economics, Information, Decision, and Prediction
Nicolaus Copernicus - On The Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres
Jeremy Bentham - Economic Writings vol. 1 (Supply Without Burthen)
Aristotle - Sophistical Elenchi

After:
Thomas Bradwardine - Speculative Geometry
Gerard Debreu - Mathematical Economics: twenty papers of Gerard Debreu
Galileo Galilei - Discourses and Mathematical Demonstrations Relating to Two New Sciences
John Stuart Mill - A System of Logic: Ratiocinative and Inductive

I'll finish Sophistical Elenchi first out of all these: by the end of May. The other books I am nowhere close to finishing. :3 However I think the next one finished after Sophistical Elenchi would probably be the book by Copernicus.

>> No.15367927

Now: Outlines of Pyrrhonism
After: Court of the Red Tsar

I dedicate my attentions to one book at a time.

>> No.15367930

Oh also, Porphyry's Introduction to Aristotle's Categories is after I finish Aristotle's Sophistical Elenchi

Then I'll probably go ahead and read Aristotle's Physics.

You should get rid of all the economic stuff because that stuff is a waste of time. Equivalent of reading magic tree house desu

It's funny, because I was just reading a passage from the mathematics portion of Bacon's Opus Majus where he states that the greatest findings occur through the development and application of mathematical principles in all sciences.

I'm assuming this applies to both morals and economics, which were both developed sciences by the time he was writing.

In fact, the utility of economics was noticed by many different economists like Leon Walras who developed his mathematical system to account for various variables and discovered and applied marginality.

Bentham's book I'm reading has a particular quote in regards to mathematics in economics as well! That even though the results could be expressed most clearly in the English language, they could not have been derived but from mathematics. I get that feeling from some of Hildenbrand's conclusions in his Equilibria and Core of a Large Economy and ESPECIALLY in many of Von Neumann and Morgenstern's collaborations on Game Theory.

This is a complex issue you're simply waving away: economics is a vital science and extremely important, but particularly because of the observations, not even so much from an institutional or legislative perspective, after all many political scientists and economists advocate for abstention in all government interference.

There's some fucking retard (I think it's you) who keeps on posting about economics having 'bitch math' or some other shit and it not having any predictive quality.

You've done this for around 2 years. Unfortunately, unlike me, who chooses to have an identity (:3) you are a coward who hides behind anonymity.

Buddy, you're a fucking idiot and can't be any older than 25
