Abstract
It is difficult to stir up controversy when you agree with nearly all of your colleagues observations. In the end, I think that the differences of perspective between Professor Boettke and me are mostly semantical. Since I am an economist, I do not disagree with the majority of Boettkes ideas; yet, I am also a philosopher, so I know that philosophy can provide assistance to economics by developing methodological rigor. My response will consist of philosophically unpacking some of Boettkes statements. The danger here, of course, is that some new, rather significant differences may arise.
