Features: This book first introduces the history of human understanding of scientific methodology and its application in the economic field, which includes important thoughts in Western scientific methodology and economics, as well as the methodology of Marxist economics. Through these introductions, it reflects on the cognitive patterns of people's understanding of the economic society and evaluates some influential thought methods in the history of methodology from the perspective of dialectical materialist epistemology. On this basis, it explores the requirements and characteristics of understanding economic activities based on the characteristics of human social and economic activities, and elaborates on some key methodological issues encountered by people in the process of recognizing objective economic laws. Through the discussion and comparative study of these key issues, readers become aware of the processes that determine theoretical conclusions but are often overlooked, consciously establishing the awareness of scientifically understanding objective economic life with correct methods.
