In "Abductive Analysis," Iddo Tavory and Stefan Timmermans provide
a new navigational map for constructing empirically based
generalizations in qualitative research. They outline an accessible
way to think about observations, methods, and theories that
nurtures theory-formation without locking it into predefined
conceptual boxes. The authors view research as continually moving
back and forth between a set of observations and theoretical
generalizations. To craft theory is to then pitch one's
observations in relation to other potential cases, both within and
without one's field. The book provides novel ways to approach the
challenges that plague qualitative researchers across the social
sciences--how to think about the relation between methods and
theories, how to conceptualize causality, how to construct axes of
variation, and how to leverage the researcher's community of
inquiry. "Abductive Analysis" is a landmark work that shows how a
pragmatist approach provides a more productive and fruitful way to
conduct qualitative research.
