OTKLON OD METODOLOŠKOG FUNDAMENTALIZMA
DEFLECTION FROM METHODOLOGICAL FUNDAMENTALISM

Summary/Abstract: The kind of knowledge produced by a science is largely related to her cognitive orientation. We start from the assumption that the importance of quantification is overemphasized in the social sciences, especially through the statistical method. It happens that the theoretical interpretive relevance of research insights is ignored by the dictates of statistical indicators. In addition to the analytical / quantitative fundamental position in the social sciences, there is another fundamental position, the hermeneutic. A qualitative research methodology is projected from it, which with a standardized and flexible approach seeks to break in the latent structure, dynamics and accept individual and community phenomena. The aim is to examine the scope and limits of quantitative and qualitative research methodology, their interactive potential convergence, and (in) sufficiency of theoretical content / interpretive capacity in the approach to research.
