Interpretivism and norms

Correspondence between probabilistic norms and fuzzy norms

In this paper, the connection between Menger probabilistic norms and H"{o}hle probabilistic norms is discussed. In addition, the correspondence between probabilistic norms and Wu-Fang fuzzy (semi-) norms is established. It is shown that a probabilistic norm (with triangular norm $min$) can generate a Wu-Fang fuzzy semi-norm and conversely, a Wu-Fang fuzzy norm can generate a probabilistic norm.

Actions, Norms, Subactions and Kernels of (Fuzzy) Norms

In this paper, we introduce the notion of an action $Y_X$as a generalization of the notion of a module,and the notion of a norm $vt: Y_Xto F$, where $F$ is a field and $vartriangle(xy)vartriangle(y') =$ $ vartriangle(y)vartriangle(xy')$ as well as the notion of fuzzy norm, where $vt: Y_Xto [0, 1]subseteq {bf R}$, with $bf R$  the set of all real numbers. A great many standard mappings on algebr...

Interpretivism and the meaning of mental state ascriptions

Pragmatism vs interpretivism in qualitative information systems research

Qualitative research is often associated with interpretivism, but alternatives do exist. Besides critical research and sometimes positivism, qualitative research in information systems can be performed following a paradigm of pragmatism. This paradigm is associated with action, intervention and constructive knowledge. This paper has picked out interpretivism and pragmatism as two possible and i...

Interpretivism in IS - a Postmodernist (or Postpositivist?) Knowledge Theory

This paper explores the association between postmodernism and interpretivism. The paper’s objective is to show that the interpretivist research paradigm shows very clear postmodernist traits. After defining the two concepts the paper attempts to answer the research question whether interpretivism is a typical postmodernist approach to Information Systems science and research. The paper is conce...
