Abstract: Methodological singularism is one of the four fundamental pillars of Austrian methodology. This work opens up the issue of methodological singularism and argues that it is equally important for economics as are concepts of deduction, methodological individualism and methodological subjectivism. Compliance with methodological singularism is vital because its without it any economic analysis leads to simplification, based on which its conclusions necessarily also become simplified. It is shown that this concept can reject some controversial concepts, i.e. scales of preference, demonstrated preference or indifference curves. Methodological singularismus is a necessary condition to preserve the a priori nature of economics.
