Editorial Reviews

Review

"Yuengert's wide ranging and excellent book, Approximating Prudence, will stimulate further thinking among economists working to formalise Aristotelian approaches. It is a helpful book for philosophers and theologians looking to understand the approach of economists. Working economists will become wiser economists from Yuengert's careful drawing of the limits of economic analysis." - Paul Oslington, professor of Economics, Australian Catholic University

"Yuengert provides a much-needed assessment of both the proper role and the limits of economic analysis in explaining social phenomena. This book is a welcome addition to the literature on the interface of economics and other disciplines." - Albino Barrera, professor of Economics and Theology, Providence College

"Andrew Yuengert explains to economists why their models will never be able to capture the complexity of human decision making and to humanists how recent developments in economics have moved those models significantly closer to that unattainable goal. Deeply appreciative of both worlds, he speaks persuasively to each group in its own language. A brilliant contribution toward bridging a very old chasm of misunderstanding." - Daniel Finn, William E. and Virginia Clemens Professor of Economics & the Liberal Arts, College of Saint Benedict, Saint John's University

"In his exciting new volume, Approximating Prudence: Aristotelian Practical Wisdom and Economics Models of Choice, Andrew Yuengert manages the rare feat of taking both economics and Aristotelian philosophy seriously. By embedding economic models of choice in the broader Aristotelian account of practical reason, Yuengert offers an illuminating account of what choice theory can and cannot do. Yuengert's tour de force is an exemplar of the creative and careful scholarship that truly valuable interdisciplinary research requires, and should be of particular value to economists seeking to understand how their discipline intersects with larger philosophical concerns." - Mary Hirschfeld, assistant Professor of Economics and Theology, Villanova University
