The Article is devoted to a research of realist approach to the analysis of social ontologic problems of social sciences including modern philosophy of economy. The social realism is interpreted as a culture focused concept and as a methodological trend recognizing reality of existence of the outside world and the necessity of its causal explanation taking into account a subjective component of human behavior but, at the same time, defending the right of every social researcher to his own option of such explanation within the general evolution of social and humanitarian knowledge. While developing the problems of social ontology, the realists offer the following: to revive social metaphysics in some special aspects; to approve pluralism of social ontologies; to make social ontology "open" or "incomplete"; to confirm social ontology by a falsification method; to use other nonconventional instruments of verification of social ontology ("rhetoric", a deconstruction etc.).
