A methodology without methodological rules

J. N. Hattiangadi

pp. 103-151

Abstract

A methodology without methodological rules. In any goal-directed activity, the situation can yield certain hypothetical imperatives for the agent if he or she appreciates the situation. This essay offers a technique for analyzing and classifying all possible intellectual situations. It describes how in typical intellectual situations typical methodological standards or constraints may guide a researcher. As methodologists we need not impose such rules or standards upon anyone, or even advocate them. Methods advocate themselves.
