В статье обсуждается последний по времени учебник экономической методологии. Показано, что философию науки авторы понимают прежде всего как философию естественных наук, а попытку осмыслить экономическую теорию как науку социальную они не предприняли. Вместе с тем книга отличается вниманием к более современным методологическим подходам, к риторическому анализу экономического знания, и эту направленность следует признать перспективной.

This review discusses the latest textbook on economic methodology. It shows that its authors think of the philosophy of science as primarily the philosophy of “hard”, natural sciences and have not tried to interpret economic theory as a social science. At the same time the book is characterized by its attention towards more recent methodological approaches, in particular, to the rhetoric of economics, and this direction might be considered as promising.
