PLURALISMO NA CIÊNCIA ECONÔMICA OU UM ESTADO TRANSITÓRIO EM DIREÇÃO A UM NOVO MAINSTREAM PÓS-NEOCLÁSSICO?

The article initially intends to expose a methodological reflection on the unsuccessful attempt of economic science to find a unique method to constitute its theories. We then address an attempt by the same science to find better explanations for the phenomena it faces. Therefore, the state of the art of mainstream pluralism was seen as an enterprise seeking to give dynamism to the economist's profession and somehow counteract the label of a monism in the area. Finally, it concludes with some observations about a certain eclecticism within the most current approaches, where the great doubt, expressed in the title of this work, remains sub judice.
