 Recently, some authors have sought to dissolve the simple dialectic between mentalism and behaviourism. Guala (2019, 389) argues that the debate is mainly motivated by a methodological, rather than an ontological concern: whether or not economics should accept a healthy injection of psychological theory and methods depends on the explanatory tasks at hand. Clark (2020) reasons that whether and how to treat preferences as genuine cognitive variables is a question that depends on the epistemic purposes of the investigation (or as he phrased it, “the ultimate aims of economics”). Similarly, Thoma (2021) and Vredenburgh (2020) argue that for their specific purposes, economists often have good reasons to largely “black box” the causes of choice in their modelling of economic behaviour.
