BASIC CONCEPTS in the methodology of the social sciences
- Share to:
It is an essential part of being human to strive continually to know oneself and one’s environment better. In an important sense, everybody is a philosopher — a lover of wisdom. This “passion to grasp the nature of each thing as it is” (Plato), is manifested primarily in the statements we make about reality. Making pronouncements about that which exists — or believed to exist — again, is an intrinsic component of all meaningful human experience. Although it is true that people may hold many beliefs that are never articulated in words, it is also true that, to the extent that language is essential for meaningful human interaction, making of statements about reality is an essential dimension of human existence. It is, therefore, only natural that a book on the methodology of the social sciences, on the principles which underlie the production and utilization of knowledge, should begin with a closer look at the nature of such statements.
