I've been reading Mises' /Human Action/ recently, and engaging with the praxeological method. It's done wonders for my economic thinking, and stimulated some thoughts about philosophical and scientific frameworks in general. I've found Mises' lack of rigor in thought (compared to the mathematics and physics to which I'm accustomed) somewhat annoying; maybe this /Man, Economy, and State/ behemoth that's on the stack after HA will resolve that, or I'll be forced to do it myself. In any case, I've been thinking about what an "actor" in a Miscesian sense actually means, as that seems to be the obvious starting point for formalization.

[fn:2] Note that this has the desirable epistemological property of characterizing fields of inquiry on the basis of eternal, /a priori/ categories of human experience, not on the basis of a particular methodology. This allows one to identify deeply historical developments as a primitive predecessor of modern understanding (e.g. myth as mathematics), and prevents the usual "No True Scotsman" nonsense that confounds traditional, analytical accounts of these fields on methodological basis. A reasonable criticism is that the additional things satisfying the definition merely confound terms; however, in arguing against those additional things, I believe you'll find their unsuitability for directing gainful action to be their ultimate rebuttal, and accordingly, it's more reasonable to consider them bad exemplars of the purpose they serve, common to their methodologically-developed analogs (and often derivatives) today.

-The most common economic argument against the anarcho-capitalism alleges the absolute necessity of coercion in provisioning public goods, or preventing the tragedy of the commons. There are obvious theoretical rebuttals from an Austrian perspective (how does the /state/ know what is a "public good?"), but for the sound rhetorical strategy of engaging your opposition on his own terms counterexamples are required—hopefully more accessible than medieval Iceland.
