 note = {Rational choice theory(RCT) in social sciences is apparently grounded in Zweckrationalität, or methodological individualism, a generic term for a theory that is based on assumptions. However, there are two ways to describe the history of RCT. On one hand, a section of economists are of the opinion that RDT had an economic imperialistic influence and originally termed it “ a choice theory” in microeconomics. On the other hand, social scientists, excluding economists, feel that RCT is a more wide-ranging social science theory on human behavior. Though this remains a critical issue, it is certain that some eminent economists began applying economics in social sciences.  This paper shows the history of RCT in Political Science and Sociology and scrutinize discourses of economists who looked it as economic imperialism, This paper especially discusses the following two points:(1) the various dispositions of economists who insisted that the application of RCT in other areas of social sciences was tantamount to economic imperialism,(2) the characterization of RCT as a “scientific” analysis that is largely related to economics.},
