Abstract

Objective: To theoretically demonstrate the relations between the quality and quantity dimensions and their indissociability in research, arguing that the ways of producing knowledge within a scientific field is conditioned to the researchers' vigilance over the system of objective relations and, thus, is a practice governed by a particular metascience. Method: The argument is built from a philosophical theoretical framework. Results: While it is necessary to identify predicates such as quality and quantity to distinguish and analyze the scientific object, these are constituent aspects of the totality of the perceived object, and it is impossible to study them separately. Conclusion: It is necessary to look carefully at the way scientific research is constructed and communicated, including its explanations and statements based on the predicates’ relational aspects in their double determination, investigation, and exposition, which relates to the process of appropriation and critical-rational explicitness. Descriptors: Scientific method. Research predicates. Complementarity. Meta-science.
质量和数量是研究的不可分割的维度
目的:从理论上论证质量维度和数量维度之间的关系及其在研究中的不可分割性,认为在科学领域内产生知识的方式取决于研究人员对客观关系系统的警惕,因此,这是一种受特定元科学支配的实践。方法:论证建立在哲学理论框架之上。结果:虽然区分和分析科学对象需要识别质量和数量等谓词,但这些都是感知对象整体的组成部分,不可能单独研究。结论:有必要仔细审视科学研究的构建和交流方式,包括在谓词的双重确定、调查和阐述中基于谓词的关系方面的解释和陈述,这与挪用过程和批判性理性的明确性有关。描述词:科学方法。研究谓词。互补性。元科学。
