Create a flyer for "Epistemology and Metaphysics for Qualitative Research"

A highly relevant book that underlines how epistemology, philosophy and metaphysics work at the heart of research processes. In a post-paradigmatic perspective, it places a salutary emphasis on the diversity of ideas, theories and schools of thought which encourages academic freedom, creativity and interdisciplinary openness.

 I have searched for years for the “perfect” book for my PhD-level Philosophy of Science course and I have now found it.

This is an enormously important work. Qualitative inquiry is burgeoning throughout the social sciences, and with significant challenge to the logical empiricist orientation that has long dominated the sciences. Yet, while a challenge to tradition, there are scant resources for deliberating on differences and direction. Tomas Pernecky's work is a sophisticated, readable, and comprehensive gift of just these resources. It is more: in the helter-skelter demand for producing publishable research, the social sciences have lost capacity for self-understanding.

I recently purchased Epistemology and Metaphysics for Qualitative Research. I think it’s very good, and clearly written. I plan to use it as a text for my postgraduate students next year. It has everything they need all in one place!
