Has anyone combined pragmatism and interpretivism in their research? If so, could you please recommend some reading to help with this? I am currently writing the methodological chapter for my PhD thesis.
I am also very curious about this new PhD option that some universities are offering called Hybrid Thesis, where you show published work but also provide research that has not been published. If someone has done this type of thesis, I would love more information about what it includes.
Thanks for all your help.
Pragmatism in general and John Dewey in particular rejected any reliance on ontology and epistemology. Instead, they argued for action and experience as the basis of knowledge. This is clear in Dewey's model of "Inquiry."
So, no, I do think there is any way to combine pragmatism and interpretivism (which was known to Dewey as "idealism"). I have attached one of my articles that should help you with pragmatism.
