Description
Beyond Method: Meaning, Theory, and the Intellectual Practice of Socio-Anthropological Research confronts a fundamental question too often left unasked: what does it actually mean to conduct research in the humanities and social sciences — beyond procedural compliance, formatting rules, and methodological templates?
Written in response to a widespread but rarely addressed problem in contemporary academia — research that follows procedures yet lacks theory, interpretation, and meta-theoretical awareness — this book draws on the author’s extensive experience as a reviewer for international journals, national research grants, and universities across Indonesia. It exposes how much research today is methodologically correct yet intellectually shallow: data without theory, analysis without interpretation, methodology without epistemological grounding.
Rather than offering another technical manual, the book repositions methodology as a mode of thinking. It argues that rigorous research begins not with instruments or techniques, but with meaning, interpretation, and the disciplined cultivation of intellectual judgment.
Inside this book
- Why methodological correctness is not the same as intellectual rigor.
