This updated and expanded edition is a unique examination of
qualitative research in the social sciences, raising and answering the
question of why we do this kind of investigation. Rather than
providing instructions on how to conduct qualitative research, The
Science of Qualitative Research explores the multiple roots of
qualitative research - including phenomenology, hermeneutics, and
critical theory - in order to diagnose the current state of the field
and recommend an alternative. The author argues that much qualitative
research today uses the mind-world dualism that is typical of
traditional experimental investigation, and recommends that instead we
focus on constitution: the relationship of mutual formation between a
form of life and its members. Michel Foucault's program for 'a history
ontology of ourselves' provides the basis for this fresh approach. The
new edition features updated chapters, and a brand new chapter which
offers a discussion on how to put into practice Foucault's concept.
