Abstract
Accounting may well be on its way to becoming the queen of the human sciences, but, regrettably, if so, this will be because it has taken on all the least desirable features of technocratically defined “human” science. The critics of accounting practice see this and although they differ among themselves, the differences between the critics and the mainstream practitioners (and their “theorists”) define a chasm. I try to exhibit this by showing that the chasm stems from different assumptions in the philosophy (or theory) of science and different assumptions regarding the nature of society. Current criticisms suggest to me a profound pedagogic task.
