This article aims to emphasize the importance of Austrians leading the methodological debate in Economics, highlighting their criticism of positivism and defending their own methodological posture, which is very close to the classical tradition. It Is also treated by the insertion of positivism in Economics, in which the epistemological problems of this analysis and the criticism of the Austrians are placed. Finally, there is a proposal of methodological posture for the austrians with the objective of expanding<br>the dialogue with orthodoxy and allowing an external criticism of it.</p> ER -
