Philosophy of Science | Four Major Paradigms 

I have attended a lot of lectures on this topic, but non of them simplifies the concept than this, thank you sir for your video

i swear you are so good. the way you described things and connected them together so it's easier to understand and memorize was just on point. good job and thank you a lot.

Clear w concise examples & broken down for simple digestion. Straight to the point.

I have gone through different lectures on the specific topic but you explained these complex concepts in the most appropriate way.

95% of all the projects your will write are deductive. You can't be inductive by chance (only by design - e.g., by using the Delphi method). If you want to publish your work (or at least not confuse your supervisor), stay away from abduction and pragmatism (at least as a Bachelor's student). Here are some aspects to keep in mind for choosing the philosophy of science for your Bachelor- or Master thesis in Business, Management, etc. (if you do a Ph.D., you might want to invest some additional time with regards to ontological and epistemological options). Think of philosophies of science as "hats" you choose to put on for different purposes: (Post)Positivism - You believe in an "objective reality" and you want to generalize your findings (you believe that "with enough high-quality data, you can explain reality), however, you can only explain things (you can't explore). You need high-quality quantitative data (surveys, panel data) and your research questions typically start with "what". You build a model and you measure the impact of certain factors etc. You may use qualitative data (interviews) for clarification purposes as a Post-Positivist. Critical Realism - You believe in an "objective reality" (but you only think that we can see manifestations of this reality, not reality itself), and you want to generalize your findings (e.g., with management implications), however, you typically want to explore things. Your data is mainly qualitative (case studies + support expert interviews) and you might use quantitative data to support your findings. It's the most common approach at university. Your research questions typically start with "how". (Social) Constructivism - You DON'T believe in an "objective reality" ("truth is in the eye of the beholder") and you DON'T want to generalize your findings. Your research is qualitative (mostly interviews that you will code and analyze afterwards) and your focus is on individual perceptions of certain contexts. Thus, your research questions will include these people. Social Constructivists focus on topics like power, hierarchies in companies, culture, etc. A typical research question could be: "How does a middle manager X perceive the loss of power and control over his direct reports (in company Y) in the aftermath of the current pandemic?" or "How does the pandemic affect the culture of the board of directors in company Z (from the perspective of A, B, and C)?

Thank you so much!

very informative and explained well, thank you.

Thank you sir for such an informative video. Can you please provide some reference books? I have read ougie, R., & Sekaran, U. (2016). I am a young researcher and wish to learn more about philosophy of science.

Very useful, thanks. If you had to compare Kuhn and Longino's ideas, what would be your comments? I have a paper to write on this. Thanks.

Very informative and well explained thank you sir ..!

I enjoyed the video. Thank you for this succint explination. But it would be great if you could add some slides for each of the scientific streams so we could better memorize the characteristics of each.

I’m going to start using deductive and inductive reasoning in my life

Informative video Do we need to use theory in qualitative research? Why?

thank you sir

very informative

very helpful

very informative, well explained. How would your represent the retroductive and abductive in philosopy table of the video?

A very specific and easy presentation of the philosophy of science. A very good video indeed.

U the best sir

Please make a video on feyerabends view of science?

Hi can someone give answe for this please Topic like impact of customer satisfaction in mobile banking, I used both quantitative and qualitative method, but for the analysis used quantitative results only. However what is suitable philosophy for this topic? I'm stucked between positivesm and realism methods

👍

'Australia is in the end of the world' Sounds about right.

What is Scientific knowledge to practice in real world

Good video, but the audio could be louder!

Can you tell me the book name ,which you follow?

I am sitting here and you are sitting there. You may say otherwise. But this has NOTHING to do with our having different conceptualisations of reality. We have exactly the same view of reality just from different places.

The foundations of any research and knowledge, language and rhetoric is religion.....Religion emerged from the mystic spiritual ages when there was no guidance other than Shamanism enforced by established leadership.

All this is a post facto hand waving for people in the humanities, of no value whatsoever for people actually engaged in research.
