Quantitative social science is not only about regression analysis or, in general, data inference. Computer simulations of social mechanisms have an over 60 years long history. They have been used for many different purposes—to test scenarios, to test the consistency of descriptive theories (proofof-concept models), to explore emerging phenomena, for forecasting, etc. In this essay, we sketch th...

Defining and classifying quadrilaterals, though an established component of the school mathematics curriculum, appears to be a difficult topic for many learners. The reasons for such difficulties relate to the complexities in learning to analyse the attributes of different quadrilaterals and to distinguish between critical and noncritical aspects. Such learning, if it is to be effective, requir...

Experience has shown that the application of ethical guidelines developed for research in developed countries to research in developing countries can be, and often is, impractical and raises a number of contentious issues. Various attempts have been made to provide guidelines more appropriate to the developing world context; however, to date these efforts have been dominated by the fields of bi...

In the era of knowledge civilization, the concept of episteme introduced by (Foucault 1972) cannot be restricted to historical studies, can be applied also to analyze the current situation and future developments. After the middle of 20 century, the episteme of industrial civilization era was disintegrating and three essentially different episteme of three cultural spheres developed divergently...

The technological and social success of the natural sciences—particularly the physical sciences, biology and geology—during the 19th and 20th centuries has led to an intriguing consequence: the expansion of rules, modes of discourse and philosophical perspectives from the natural sciences into other discourses and forms of life. Academic psychology’s long love affair with the modernist program ...

Global history is the outcome of a complex but knowable dynamic process that has been operating in the human sphere for the past two million years and that will continue to operate for as long as human society exists. Underpinning this dynamic process are the laws of history. This article argues that it is possible both to model the dynamics of human history and to identify the laws that govern...

I propose to begin my paper on the logic of the social sciences with two theses which formulate the opposition between our knowledge and our ignorance. First thesis: We know a great deal. And we know not only many details of doubtful intellectual interest but also things which are of considerable practical significance and, what is even more important, which provide us with deep theoretical ins...

The turn of qualitative inquiry suggests a more open, plural conception of psychology than just the science of the mind and behavior as it is most commonly defined. Historical, ontological and epistemological binding of this conception of psychology to the positivist method of natural science may have exhausted its possibilities, and after having contributed to its prestige as a science, has no...
