抄録

The paper raises two issues: first, it shows unique characters in the history of economic thought in France, and second, it clarifies the disciplinary position of the History of Economic Thought in French higher education at the end of the nineteenth century. Thus, the paper in-tends to define the historical contexts in which the academic discipline of the History of Eco-nomic Thought gained such social and institu-tional significance in France at the time. An examination of the nineteenth-century process of French institutionalization of eco-nomics in higher education demonstrates a rival-ry between the “Grandes Ecoles” and the uni-versities. Classical economics in Say’s tradition dominated the former institutions, excepting a few engineering schools where mathematical economics was introduced. In universities, the course of economics was instead established first in law faculties, and the History of Eco-nomic Thought was introduced as training for law students in economics. Gide and Rist wished　to show the students various trends of econom-ics and, for that purpose, published their History of Economic Doctrines as a course textbook. Both authors were Protestants and support-ers of Dreyfus during the famous affair （1894― 1906）. They sided more or less with the eco-nomic ideas of Walras and social economics. Their common scientific outlook involved a method of balanced grouping, mapping, and the assessment of various theories by way of inhib-iting a particular inclination to endorse any one of them. This method served their common cen-tral goals of relativizing different theories, and resulted in successful abating of the dominance of classical economics of the time. It was these ideas, in fact, that characterized their works. Fi-nally, their ideas were able to show the signifi-cance of newly emerging trends and theories like mathematical economics and social eco-nomics. JEL classification numbers: B 19, B 31, N 33.
