Were we to resume the most general methodological principle of the Austrian School it would be truth seeking. Without such an orientation the scientific enterprise (and much more than that) becomes meaningless qua scientific endeavor. It becomes pure consensus searching for consensus’ sake, conversation maintenance, even though consensus and conversation are meaningless if one does not acknowledge the need for a truth of consensus and conversation. Along the lines of this search for truth, the method of the Austrian School can be grouped – to the extent one is dealing with research within the field of social science – under three headings: realism, methodological individualism and methodological dualism. In the following, a brief presentation of these will be undertaken.
