“Situational Analysis” (SA) constitutes Popper’s methodological proposal for the social sciences. We argue that notwithstanding Popper’s claim that SA is an attempt to extend the methodology of neoclassical economics to the rest of the social sciences, the former is better interpreted as an extension of his view of the “method” of history to the “theoretical” social sciences. The reason is that, unlike neoclassical economics, Popper’s formulation of SA presupposes that social scientists exhibit a “more complete” view of the “logic of the situation” than individual actors do, on average, which implies that the latter’s knowledge is “partially wrong” or “incomplete.”

“情境分析”的明显失败未能抓住并振兴它

“情境分析”（SA）构成了波普尔对社会科学的方法论建议。我们认为，尽管波普尔声称SA是试图将新古典经济学的方法学扩展到其他社会科学领域，但更好的解释是前者将他的历史“方法”观点扩展到“理论”社会科学。原因是，与新古典经济学不同，波普尔对SA的表述以社会科学家对“局势逻辑”的看法比单个参与者平均而言“更完整”的观点为前提，这意味着后者的知识“部分错误”。 ”或“不完整”。
