Abstract
Main description
(01)
|
The progress of the social science disciplines depends on conducting relevant research. However, research methodology adopted
and choices made during the course of the research project are underpinned by varying ontological, epistemological and axiological
positions that may be known or unknown to the researcher. This paper sought to critically explore the philosophical underpinnings
of the social science research. It was suggested that a “multiversal” ontological position, positivist-hermeneutic epistemological
position and value-laden axiological position should be adopted for social science research by non-western scholars as alternative
to the dominant naïve realist, positivist, and value-free orientation. Against the backdrop of producing context-relevant
knowledge, non-western scholars are encouraged to re-examine their philosophical positions in the conduct of social science
research.
