Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the Cambridge Political Economy Society. ; This article addresses Piero Sraffa's critique of Alfred Marshall's supply-and-demand framework, and Sraffa's later book Production of Commodities, taking into account an aspect that has been relatively neglected in the literature, namely the ontology underlying the conceptions of Sraffa an...
Mathematics, science and the Cambridge tradition
Martins, Nuno O.Copyright © 2012 World Economics Association. ; In this paper the use of mathematics in economics will be discussed, by comparing two approaches to mathematics, a Cartesian approach, and a Newtonian approach. I will argue that while mainstream economics is underpinned by a Cartesian approach which led to a divorce between mathematics and reality, the contributions of key authors of the Cambridge tradition, lik...
Sen, Sraffa and the revival of classical political economy
Martins, Nuno O.Copyright © 2012 Taylor & Francis. ; In his new book The Idea of Justice, Amartya Sen argues that political theory should not consist only in the characterisation of ideal situations of perfect justice. In so doing, Sen is making, within the context of political theory, a similar argument to another he also made in economic theory, when crtiticising what he called the ‘rational fool’ of mainstream economics. S...
An Evolutionary Approach to Emergence and Social Causation
Martins, Nuno O.Copyright © Equinox Publishing Ltd 2011. ; Rom Harré criticizes critical realism for ascribing causal powers to social structures, arguing that it is human individuals, and not social structures, that possess causal powers, and that a false conception of structural causation undermines the emancipatory potential of critical realism. I argue that an interpretation of the category of process as the spatio-tempor...

Can neuroscience inform economics? Rationality, emotions and preference formation
Martins, Nuno O.Copyright © The Author 2010. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the Cambridge Political Economy Society. All rights reserved. ; The interaction between neuroscience and economics has gained much prominence recently, leading to the emergence of the new and expanding field of neuroeconomics. I will argue that, although there is much insight to be gained from the interaction between neuroscience an...
A transformational conception of evolutionary processes
Martins, Nuno O.The transformational conception of social activity provides a non-deterministic Framework within which evolutionary models of natural selection can be located, and constitutes an alternative to sociological and economic traditions that adopt a deterministic conception of social processes, in which the causal effects of social structures, or technology, for example, are conceptualized in a deterministic way. Nat...
A ética kantiana e o espírito do cristianismo
Martins, Nuno O.O presente trabalho procura fazer uma análise do pensamento ético de Immanuel Kant, e relacionar a moral kantiana com o conceito de pessoa do Cristianismo, tendo em conta a interpretação cristã de conceitos como matéria, forma e espírito. Será argumentado que a noção de "espírito" do Cristianismo se enquadra numa visão integral da pessoa humana, e não implica uma separação entre matéria e espírito, separação es...
