The purpose of this paper is threefold: (1) to examine briefly the history and development of the major methodological controversies in economic science (empiricism vs. apriorism; monism vs. dualism; and individualism vs. holism);(2) to survey strengths and weaknesses of each of the methodological approaches involved in these controversies and, on this basis, to identify the controversy which is best positioned as a candidate for being neutralized; and (3) to investigate the attempts already undertaken in literature in order to neutralize the candidate controversy.
