DOING SCIENCE

More about the book

The book explores the often-overlooked philosophical presuppositions that underpin scientific research, such as rationality and realism. It argues that these tacit assumptions significantly influence the outcomes of research, with some, like subjectivism, leading to introspection and fantasy, while others, such as realism, promote exploration and verification of ideas. The author emphasizes the importance of understanding these philosophical foundations to enhance the effectiveness of scientific inquiry.
