Some words of greeting

We are very fortunate to be taking over this flourishing journal. Dan Hausman and Mike McPherson did the hard work of creating Economics and Philosophy and raising it to its present prominence. Their achievement was tremendous; they brought new vigour and recognition to the whole field of research that links economics and philosophy. We are proud to have been given this opportunity of continuing their work. We are also delighted that we shall be working with Margaret Schabas, who remains the journal's editor of book reviews. We would be foolish to plan great changes to such a successful journal. We shall continue to publish articles in all areas that connect together economics and philosophy: the epistemology and methodology of economics, the foundations of decision theory, the nature of rational choice in general, historical work on economics with a philosophical purpose, ethical issues in economics, the use of economic techniques in ethical theory, and many other subjects. No doubt the balance of the journal's contents will alter over time as the field alters. For instance, we welcome the new ]ournal of Economic Methodology, whose existence demonstrates the growth of our field and may influence the balance between methodology and others subjects in Economics and Philosophy. As another example, the new body of work on the foundations of game theory, using the tools of formal logic, may have an impact on our pages. The journal is open to both traditional and adventurous lines of research. Economics and philosophy each possess their own special analytical methods, whose combination is powerful and fruitful. Each of the two disciplines can be enriched by the other. We do not regard work between our disciplines as peripheral to either, and we hope its importance will be increasingly recognized in both. The aim of Economics and Philosophy is to promote their mutual enrichment.
