Abstract: [fre] Anthropologie des économistes. . La crise de la « science » économique est surtout celle des économistes. . A) The history of économies may be divided into four periods : 1) from the 16th le discours des praticiens est récupéré par la philosophie sociale; 2) de 1840 à 1870 la théorie classique se dégrade en apologétique, aussitôt contestée conceptuellement et pratiquement; 3) de 1870 aux années 1920 les contradictions sociales s'aggravent tandis que le marginalisme s'isole des autres anthropologies sociales; 4) depuis s'opère une convergence mais sans intégration. . B) La science naît de l'idéologie: 1) la sociologie de la connaissance s'attache à trouver le noyau rationnel enfermé dans l'idéologie; 2) dans les disciplines anthropologiques le critère de la vérification par la pratique prend une acception spécifique ; 3) une application à quelques économistes pris à titre d'exemple. [eng] Economists' anthropology. . The crisis of economics is mainly the economists' crisis. . . A) The history of economics may be divided into four periods : 1) from the 16th century to J.S. Mill, the practising economist language was captured by social philosophy ; 2) from 1840 to 1870, the classical theory degraded into apologetics which is immediately disputed both conceptually and practicaily; 3) from 1870 to the 1920 s, the social contradictions worsened while marginalism was separated from other social anthropologies ; 4) since that time, we have witnessed a convergence without integration. . B) Science stems from ideology: 1) the sociology of knowledge has as its objective to find out the rational core within ideology ; 2) in anthropological branches the praxis criterium of thruth is taking on a specifie meaning ; 3) An illustration of this argument is given in a study of some economists.
