Description

This book�highlights the existence of a diversity of methods in science, in�general, in groups of sciences (natural, social or the artificial), and in individual sciences. This methodological variety is open to a number of�consequences, such as the differences in the research according to�levels of reality (micro, meso and macro), which leads to multi-scale�modelling and to questioning �fundamental� parts in the sciences, understood as the necessary support for the whole discipline. In addition, this volume acknowledges the need�to assess the efficacy of procedures and methods of scientific activity in�engendering high quality results in research made; the relevance of�contextual factors for methodology of science; the existence of a�plurality of stratagems when doing research in empirical sciences�(natural, social and of the artificial); and the need for an ethical�component while developing scientific methods, because values should�have a role in scientific research. The book is of interest to a broad�audience of philosophers, academics in various fields, graduate students and research centers interested in methodology of science.Typham this is the title: Methodological Prospects for Scientific Research From Pragmatism to Pluralism 1st Edition
