Opis

This book is about going beyond dichotomy. The research literature in social sciences is full of apparent dichotomies such: qualitative and quantitative approaches; 'reality' and 'multiple-realities'; ontology and epistemology; researchers and participants; and sometimes even between the goals of research and the ethics of research
