The study examines the side of Veblen's work in which this excellent theorist argued for a new scientific cognition, as an alternative to the mainstream scientific outlook of his age. This induced Veblen to prepare a clinical picture of economic man, and to outline a new, more authentic picture of mankind. This evolution-based picture of humanity is presented here. It also seeks to contribute to confirming that Veblen's ideas should not just be seen as durable for cognition efforts in the new millennium, but as having value in offering new directions for the renewal of economics.
