Abstract Many philosophers think that common sense knowledge survives sophisticated philosophical proofs against it. Recently, however, Bryan Frances (‘Philosophical sense’ 2021) has advanced a proof he thinks cannot survive. Exploiting paradoxes like the Sorites, attempts to show how leads paradox and therefore methodology is unstable. In this paper, we Frances’s fails then present with dilemma.

The objective of this paper is to reflect on the conception, development and implementation of structured case analysis in examining the infusion of the Information Systems (IS) in a regulated industry sector; the Australian Stockbroking Sector. The research revealed that in rule-bound industries such as the stockbroking sector, the adoption of IS technologies occurred through a wave of standar...

Design activities are fundamental to technological progress. Current design research holds tight to positivism, abandoned and critically opposed to by philosophers, mostly those outside the U.S. Maintaining the positivist view when conducting research leads to significant deficiencies in the quality of research, and to problems in transferring research results to practice. In spite of significa...

The goal of this study is to apply a multidisciplinary approach towards the discovery of core concepts in the art and science of design. This study advances the intellectual body of knowledge for design science by uncovering common areas of agreement between information systems (IS) and computer science (CS) encouraging the development of new design theories within each individual field. This r...

The progress of the social science disciplines depends on conducting relevant research. However, research methodology adopted and choices made during the course of the research project are underpinned by varying ontological, epistemological and axiological positions that may be known or unknown to the researcher. This paper sought to critically explore the philosophical underpinnings of the soc...

There are two main opposing schools of statistical reasoning, frequentist and Bayesian approaches. Until recent days, the frequentist or classical approach has dominated the scientific research, but Bayesianism has reappeared with a strong impulse that is starting to change the situation. Recently the controversy about the primacy of one of the two approaches seems to be unfinished at a philoso...
