Pragmatism and methodology: doing research that matters with mixed methods
A pragmatist … turns away from abstraction and insufficiency,
from verbal solutions, from bad a priori reasons, from fixed principles, closed systems, and pretended absolutes and origins. He turns
towards concreteness and adequacy, towards facts, towards action,
and towards power. That means the empiricist temper regnant, and
the rationalist temper sincerely given up. It means the open air and
possibilities of nature, as against dogma, artificiality and the pretence
of finality in truth.
