Résumé
Economic theory has often elaborated stylistic devices aimed at favouring the integration of ethics within the framework of its mode of analysis. Amongst them, the construction of an ideal observer occupies an important position. This ideal observer is most often compared to the impartial spectator. However, markedly different interpretations have been proposed around this representation. Whatever these interpretations, they are all aimed at constructing a mode of reasoning in which the individual extricates himself from his personal and subjective situation to place himself in a universal perspective, where he finds himself in a position to put himself in the place of others. This procedure enables construction of an economic ethics based on impartiality. This procedure was recently backed by empirical verifications on individuals' opinions.
