In one direction, it has expanded to the boundaries of philosophy, including the relation of economics to the philosophy of science, the theory of knowledge〔Lawrence A. Boland, 2006. "(Seven Decades of Economic Methodology: A Popperian Perspective )", in ''Karl Popper: A Centenary Assessment'', v. 3, ed. Ian Charles Jarvie ''et al.'', pp. 219〕 In another direction of philosophy and economics, additional subjects are treated include decision theory and ethics.〔• _____, () 2006, ''(Economic Analysis and Moral Philosophy )'', 2nd ed.
