علم الاقتصاد بين الاستقراء والاستدلال العقلي المنطقي

Abstract EN

In the exact sciences, man studies free acts of creatures that have no mastermind, whereas in human and social sciences, he studies the directed acts of a human with a thinking mind (human being).

as such, the experimental method is invalid for human sciences as in the case of natural sciences.

but fortunately and unfortunately too, it is available to human researcher in social sciences to play the role of the human at issue in order to anticipate his actions, while physics scholars, for instance, can't possibly think through a photon of light, and thereby, social scientists have only two scientific approaches, namely, the extrapolation and the logical reasoning.

moreover, relying on extrapolation only, corresponding to the dependence of the natural sciences on the experimental approach is not sufficient, it is misleading, and in fact leads in many cases, as we shall see during this research, to unequivocal errors.

it can result, therefore, in the personal biases against the theory and the scientific research.
