Abstract

Written in the form of a short story, the text questions about the relationship between the philosophical justification usually claimed by philosophers of economic science and the skepticism that undertook the crisis of scientific reason and caused broad consequences for human knowledge itself and for practice. Its unusual form is a posthumous tribute to Mario Duayer, who wrote his Purgatory (Short Theological-Methodological Tale) around 25 years ago as a critical warning of possible disastrous scenarios already consummated today.
