Abstract
We shall take it for granted that the great classical economic methodologists from Adam Smith to Nassau Senior, Robbins, von Mises, Menger and Machlup were brought up in an educational system centred on classical studies and dominated by Platonic notions of Forms and by Christian attitudes toward the body and passions. In England this tradition was somewhat tempered by British empiricism, and perhaps this is why the most clear-minded methodologists are Austrians, economists from a country where the empiricist tradition was weak. But we shall see that British economists, too, did realise that economic theory did not draw sustenance from the visible kingdom.
