Resumen:
A considerable proportion of the authors engaged in the field of philosophy of economics and in economic theory have been explicitly or implicitly claiming for a reconsideration of ends within the subject-matter of economics. This line of inquiry suggests a considerable challenge to economic science. The logical structure of the rationality of ends differs from the one of means. This paper intends to explain the differences between both rationalities and some of the consequences of incorporating this new emphasis on ends. Is this reconsideration of ends legitimate? Is it positive? Is it necessary? Is it possible? Does it affect the use of maximization and optimization in economics? In this paper Sens ideas will be considered in this regard.
