A Brief History of Knowledge for Social Science Researchers
outlines a history of knowledge from Ancient Greece to present day,
in Europe and the Western world. This outline provides the basis
for understanding where various research methods originate, and
their epistemological, historical, political and social roots. This
book provides social science researchers with an understanding of
how research methods developed, and how their truth criteria, and
what is accepted as knowledge, spring from human history. Research
is often reduced to data collection, results and publication in the
stressful, results-oriented academic environment. But research is a
human enterprise, a product of both individual creativity and
historical, political and social conditions. This book will focus
on how shared research criteria (as we know them today) were
developed through the work and thought of philosophers, social
activists and researchers. This book will be useful for graduate
and post-graduate students, particularly those studying Research
Methods, and Philosophy of Science courses; and for experienced
social science researchers who wish to understand how research
methods have developed in human history.
