Informationen zum Autor Tomas Pernecky is with the Faculty of Culture and Society at the Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand. He is an advocate of postdisciplinary approaches to knowledge and post-paradigmatic modes of thinking – articulated recently in Epistemology and Methaphysics for Qualitative Research. His scholarly contribution and wide-ranging interests extend to the fields of tourism and events studies which he employs as contexts for examining a variety of philosophical, conceptual, theoretical, and methodological issues.  Klappentext Challenging current modes of thinking, and covering areas not usually found in qualitative research texts such as social reality/ontology and quantum reality/mechanics, this book helps readers to choose and defend their research methods and to take their work beyond standard perspectives Zusammenfassung Challenging current modes of thinking, and covering areas not usually found in qualitative research texts such as social reality/ontology and quantum reality/mechanics, this book helps readers to choose and defend their research methods and to take their work beyond standard perspectives Inhaltsverzeichnis Part I: Qualitative Inquiry and Philosophy Introduction: Situating Metaphysics and Epistemology in Qualitative Research Part II: Key Epistemological and Metaphysical Problems In Search of Truths: Empiricism Versus Rationalism Scepticism, Idea-ism and Idealism German Idealism, Phenomenology, and Hermeneutics Realism, its Varieties and Contenders Part III: Intangible Realities Social Ontology Quantum Reality: Contemporary Views of the Things-in-Themselves Part IV: Philosophy in Qualitative Research Conclusions: On Academic Creativity and Philosophical and Methodological Freedom
