Resumo
Este texto propõe uma crítica das posições que sustentam que a pesquisa empírica deve começar pela elaboração de hipóteses derivadas de teorias, que serão eventualmente confirmadas pela confrontação com o real. O autor sustenta que esse método não é justificável, nem de um ponto de vista lógico, nem de um ponto de vista prático. Ele perde sobretudo em criatividade e em capacidade de demonstração, em relação aos métodos empíricos indutivos, que preferem a elaboração progressiva de hipóteses teóricas de média amplitude, a partir de dados etnográficos obtidos em primeira mão.
Abstract:
This text brings a proposal for criticism on the positions that support the assertion that empirical research must begin from the elaboration of hypotheses that arise from theories and that will eventually be confirmed through confrontation with reality. The author claims that this method is not justifiable from a logical or a practical point of view. It lacks some qualities, especially creativity and demonstration capacity, when compared to inductive empirical methods, which prioritize the progressive elaboration of medium reach theoretical hypotheses, based on fresh etnographic data.
Key words: Epistemology. Field research. Research method. Induction. Etnography
