Summary
In this book, I posed three set of questions about each epistemology: how it defines knowledge, how it seeks it, and how its adherents claim to have found it. I have stressed the differences between positivism and interpretivism, but there is also considerable variation within them, variation that should encourage dialogue not only within but also across epistemologies. I discuss some of the forms this dialogue might take and the ways in which researchers in each tradition can learn.
