Karl Popper?s social analysis: some analogy with the logic of situation in economics? ? Popper?s methodological contribution could be extended in order to include the use of his critical method in social and scientific practices, that is, it is not related only to falsificationism and socratic dialogue as it has been presented by different economic methodologists. With the aim of describing Popper?s social and scientific practice, as a result of his emphasis on search and growth of knowledge, and investigating whether exists some analogy between this practice and the logic of situation in Economics, this paper presents: i) Popper?s social-scientific practice represented by his situational analysis (section 1), ii) discussions of some researchers who identify problems in Popper?s proposal (section 2), iii) arguments about Popper?s situational analysis and the situational logic of Economics (section 3) and iv) final comments.
