Research Abstract |
While the economic controversy, Methodenstreit, was making progress, philosophers tried to found human science on scientific philosophy in defferent ways of natural science. What the controversy between philosophers suggests to us are the limit of the universally general theory making in human science and the necessity to rethink what the science as human actions set value on. The pursuit of general laws must not be regarded as a self-purpose though economics has made much of the inquiry into economic laws.
