Abstract :
The core objective of this paper is to emphasize
the importance of “integrationism” as a core and a central
method, and as a core philosophy of science, social sciences
included, and one that can naturally and reliably be used
to generate much better paradigms, better frameworks,
and better concepts in science, and higher quality and
higher order science as well. We also believe and propose
that this technique become vital to scientific endeavour as
a whole. In order to better perform the task of laying down
the bare essentials of this paper, we review our earlier
papers on scientific method of which there have indeed
been many published over the last couple of years or so,
including our much more recent paper on
foundationalism. We also then go on to explain and
elucidate why inductivism, including methodological
inductivism and nomothetic approaches provide the
epistemological basis for this paper, and stand us in very
good stead. We also examine and explore other essential
prerequisites of this approach including the need and
necessity of dogma and ideology-free science, coherentism,
reliabilism, internal and external validity, accuracy,
rigour, precision, and also explain how this approach can
be used to integrate and synthesize paradigms,
frameworks, methods, and methodologies as well across a
broad spectrum.
