Abstract

The paper’s central argument is that good criticism to von Mises’ epistemology
must consider the concepts and world interpretation assuming his own philosophical
ground and that we can only try to refute it by showing some inconsistency or weakness
in its presumptions. For this task, at beginning we show Mises to layman public, and we
explain with detail his epistemological content. ln the end we write about the irrelevance of
some critical refutations, and we give examples of good internal criticism.
