@article{oai:nagoya.repo.nii.ac.jp:00029860, author = {西本, 和見 and NISHIMOTO, Kazumi}, issue = {3}, journal = {経済科学}, month = {Mar}, note = {This paper shows both continuous and discontinuous aspects of the history of classical social choice until the 18th century. MacLean and Urken (1995) counted Pliny the Younger, Ramon Llull, and Nicholaus Cusanus as "precursors" of classical social choice and Jean-Charles de Borda, Marquis de Condorcet, Simon Lhuillier, Joseph Isidoro Morales, and Pierre Claude Francois Daunou as members of "the golden age," as de Borda and Condorcet are highlights of the golden age. Gaertner (2005) mentioned Samuel von Pufendorf and Black (1971) included Pieree-Simon Laplace in the history of social choice. In this paper, I examine these social choice theorists in point of the intellectual connections and disconnections among them. I then classify these contributors with respect to the use of mathematics (or mathematical ideas). I conclude that Pliny the Younger's work is political analysis rather than mathematical research, and he should be separated from the "precursors" group, with which MacLean and Urken categorized him. Moreover, for a better understanding of the intellectual history of social choice, I suggest that Pufendorf and Laplace should be included in the list.}, pages = {131--144}, title = {社会的選択論前夜 : 18世紀までの連続と非連続の「古典」的な社会選択}, volume = {67}, year = {2020} }
