Description
On Discovery investigates the profound question of how knowledge is actually produced across diverse academic disciplines. Jonathan Jansen examines the distinctive approaches, methodologies, and ways of knowing that characterize different fields of study, from the natural sciences to the humanities and social sciences.
Rather than assuming a universal approach to knowledge production, Jansen demonstrates how each discipline has developed its own standards, practices, and criteria for what constitutes valid knowledge. The book explores the philosophical and practical foundations underlying scholarly discovery, revealing both the similarities and significant differences in how researchers across disciplines pursue truth and understanding.
Published by Cambridge University Press, this work serves as an essential resource for students, academics, and anyone interested in understanding the epistemological foundations of different fields of study and the varied processes through which human knowledge advances.
