The rhetorical approach to the methodology of economics is usually considered to be radical. In fact, compared with a strictly modernist orthodoxy, demand attention almost exclusively on the quality of the argumentation, would mean quite far-reaching change in the perception of economics as a science. However, if we consider the possibility of applying constructivist approach to methodological discourse in economics (and this attempt has been made to this Article), it may be that the issues previously taken for granted (such as the formation of the theory and its relationship to economic reality) will be required to profound redefinition.(original abstract)
