Through theoretical and comparative analysis, it is drawn a conclusion that the classical rationalist philosophical methodology of the European Enlightenment, the first and second positivism, neoposiitvism, postpositivist philosophy are methodological basis of each of the successive mainstream theoretical models of economic thinking in the developed capitalist countries from Adam Smith until now.References
