======================= HES POSTING ================= 
 
Hayek - as he mentions it in his article "Scientism and the Study of 
Society" (1942. p. 287. footnote 2) - borrowed the term "compositive" 
from Menger. Menger used the term in a manuscript note in his personal 
annotated copy of Schmoller's review of Menger's "Methoden der 
Socialwissenschaften". Here Menger wrote the word "compositive" above 
the term "deductive" used by Schmoller - informs Hayek. 
Can anyone tell me what the German term is 
Menger uses in that manuscript note? 
 
Best wishes,
