Abstract
Economic science, its contents, scope, and significance have been, for over a century and a half, dominated by intense methodological debates among scholars concentrating over issues of positivism, normativity, optimality, and empiricism. The debates are still going on. In this brief review, the author wishes to refresh the ongoing methodological debates that have haunted the wider field of social sciences.
Keywords
