摘　　要：虽然经济学方法论的个体主义一直是西方主流经济学的一个方法论原则，但是它始终受到了非主流经济学的批判，并且随着现代科学与经济学结合的日益加深，整体主义方法论越来越受到经济学家的重视。其实经济学方法论的两种对立只存在于理论之中，而在验证的角度上并不存在根本性的对立。事实上，片面强调一种方法论都会造成严重的局限性，因此，研究经济学应该把两种方法论有机地结合起来。Although the individualism methodology is always a principle in main stream western economics, it is continuously criticized by some branches of economics. With the fusion of modern science and economics, the wholism methodology is paid more and more attention by economists. Indeed, the conflict of these two methodologies exists only in theory, empirically they are not substantially conflicting. Actually, to emphasize only one methodology is very limited. To combine these two methodologies organically is a correct way of economic research.
