Wszechwiedza, determinizm i ekonomia austriacka

Abstract

In this paper I try to outline the relationship between the concepts of omniscience and determinism in the light of the Austrian approach to economic science. In the first point I introduct to my topic. I describe some general and common standpoints on mentioned issues and explain the problem. Next, I try to solve the linguistic and logical problems of defining omniscience. Then I take up the subject of Austrian praxeology and its epistemological implications. My thesis is that in the statement that omniscience implies determinism there is a vicious circle in reasoning.
