Situational analysis beyond neoclassical economists

Article Abstract:

Economist Karl Popper's simplified view of neoclassical economics took into consideration methodological individualism and situational analysis. While some neoclassical economists view Popper's approach to be overly restricted in application, his contributions ought not to be discarded. He took the strategy of generalizing neoclassical theories as a tool for easily disseminating concepts to his students. Even if economists do not find the approach satisfactory, both the neoclassical theories and Popper's model would still be valuable.

Truth, rationality, and the situation

Article Abstract:

Karl Popper's ideas about situational logic, social situations and the rationality principle are oversimplified. However, oversimplification made up a large part of his notions about social science and science in general. He argued that science is trial and error and the goal of science is to get as near as possible to the truth. For him, science starts and ends with problems which simply means that science does not end at all.
