Dialectics, Power, and Knowledge Construction in Qualitative Research

Beyond Dichotomy

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This volume explores the ontological, epistemological, ethical, and political foundations of quantitative research, conceptualizing knowledge production as an interactive process between researchers, participants, and the studied phenomenon, developing new perspectives and bridging the gap between theory and practice in the social sciences.

---

This book is about going beyond dichotomy. The research literature in social sciences is full of apparent dichotomies such: qualitative and quantitative approaches; 'reality' and 'multiple-realities'; ontology and epistemology; researchers and participants; and sometimes even between the goals of research and the ethics of research
