摘　　要：从实证论和还原论两个基本条件来看,经济学并不符合西方主流社会所理解的科学含义;如果从这个视角来强调经济学的科学性,那么只会强化它的"伪科学"特征。当然,无论是证实主义还是证伪主义作为科学划界的标准都存在缺陷,对包括经济学在内的社会科学尤其如此。在某种程度上,迄今为止,人们对科学概念的理解和使用几乎是实用性的和政治性的,而非学术性的和哲理性的,经不起思辨逻辑的耙梳。因此,对科学的划界应该寻找另外的标准。一般地,科学本质上可理解为实现某种目的的一组逻辑自洽的理论体系,从这一角度上讲,经济学也是一门科学。Based on the two rudimental qualification： positivism and reductionism, economics has no the implication of science that is popular on mainstream western society. It will strengthen the nature of pseudoscience if we emphasize the scientificity of economics from this visual angle. However, there are serious drawbacks whether positivism or negativism is taken as the criterion of the demarcation of science, especially for social science including economics. To a certain extent, the concept of science comprehended and applied popularly is pratical and political but not academic and philosophical up to now, and which cannot stand up the logistic examination. Therefore, it is needed to seek for other criterion to make a better demarcation for science. In general, science can be comprehended as a set of theoretical system with coherent logic to achieve human goal. From the view of this angle, economics is a science.
