Summary/Abstract: This paper argues that for the economists it is necessary to make epistemological reflection onto methodology and theory of economics. Here are analysed relations between empirical research and theory, between logic of discovery and logic of validity, between direct and indirect knowledge in economics. The epistemological reflection in economics discloses that there are three logical levels - this of metha-theory, of theory of economics; the level of economic theory itself, and the level of economic object. In the real economic practice they are inseparable, but in economic science there confusion is inadmissible.
