本課程從當前混合研究方法(mixed methods)所帶出的有關研究方法設計涉及的方法論典範衝突/融合的爭論開始,前三週分就重要學術期刊相關專題呈現的論爭,探討方法論典範與研究方法設計的關係。之後,逐一研讀探討方法論典範中的典範、實證論、詮釋論、批判論、後現代轉向,並遊客座講者帶領有關質與量、東與西等典範的關鍵論題思辨。每週主題以三到四篇論文、專章為讀物,聚焦討論。
能力項目說明
熟悉瞭解方法論不同典範;
掌握通透社會科學不同理路立基與世界觀;
培養獨立思辨與探析問題的能力;
造就對社會科學學術作品的評析能力

Brief introduction of the book:
A highly condensed account of the author's present view of some philosophical problems unresolved in The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. The concept of incommensurability, now considerably developed, remains at center stage, but the evolutionary metaphor, introduced in the final pages of the book, now also plays a principal role (https://philpapers.org/rec/KUHTRS-2)

第九週 4月17日詮釋取向1 Interpretive Approach 1
當週指定讀物:
Brief introduction of the book:
In this book Mark Bevir and Jason Blakely set out to make the most comprehensive case yet for an 'interpretive' or hermeneutic approach to the social sciences. Interpretive approaches are a major growth area in the social sciences today. This is because they offer a full-blown alternative to the behavioralism, institutionalism, rational choice, and other quasi-scientific approaches that dominate the study of human behavior. In addition to presenting a systematic case for interpretivism and a critique of scientism, Bevir and Blakely also propose their own uniquely 'anti-naturalist 'notion of an interpretive approach. This anti-naturalist framework encompasses the insights of philosophers ranging from Michel Foucault and Hans-Georg Gadamer to Charles Taylor and Ludwig Wittgenstein, while also resolving dilemmas that have plagued rival philosophical defenses of interpretivism. In addition, working social scientists are given detailed discussions of a distinctly interpretive approach to methods and empirical research. The book draws on the latest social science to cover everything from concept formation and empirical inquiry to ethics, democratic theory, and public policy. An anti-naturalist approach to interpretive social science offers nothing short of a sweeping paradigm shift in the study of human beings and society. This book will be of interest to all who seek a humanistic alternative to the scientism that overwhelms the study of human beings today. (https://philpapers.org/rec/BEVISS)
