Summary/Abstract: The main purpose of the paper is to answer the question – can social responsible accounting be labeled as a paradigm? Two extreme philosophy of science concepts were used – T.S. Kuhn’s and K.R. Popper’s. The result – social responsible accounting can be recognized as a new accounting paradigm, but not grounded enough. An attempt to falsify the social responsible accounting paradigm can lead to new scientific research areas.
