Abstract. The rationale of this research goes into the origins of the history of economic science but is willing to underpin new coordinates in methodology of science. An unusual account about this aspect shows the fear of some economists that overrating the role of methodology of science could bring scientific chauvinism out. Nor were these problems of recent origin; they were rooted in deep epistemological debates over time. Considering the theoretical evidence analyzed in this paper work, this approach of modern epistemological streams puts forward new highlights of economic methodology.

Keywords: science methodology; tyranny of science; epistemological mainstream; induction; scientific chauvinism.
