Philosophies of Qualitative Research
In Philosophies of Qualitative Research , Svend Brinkmann explores the different philosophical paradigms and ideas that influence qualitative research today. Adopting a historical perspective, the book shows readers exactly how philosophical ideas have evolved and influenced qualitative research in both the past and present.
Today, qualitative researchers tend to report on their philosophical commitments in an altogether separate section of their research papers. However, as Philosophies of Qualitative Research asserts, the researcher's philosophical ideas influence everything from the conception of the topic to the final reporting of its results. Therefore, philosophy should not be thought of as a purely abstract discipline, disconnected from the practicalities of research, but rather as a concrete and pervasive aspect of all qualitative research practices.
In this book, Brinkmann offers readers an important introduction and discussion of the philosophical issues that are relevant today, regardless of the specific methods employed by qualitative researchers in the field.

January 1, 2023Read this for a research methods class for my doctorate. The amount of information packed into such a small book was rather overwhelming, but I think part of that may have been because I was taking 9 hours and didn't feel like I had enough time to process and ponder everything I was reading. However, I did learn quite a bit from this book and can see it being helpful as I work toward finishing my degree and find an academic job that will probably entail me publishing my work and research.
