Abstract

The core objective of this paper is to emphasize the importance of “integrationism” as a core and a central method, and as a core philosophy of science, social sciences included, and one that can naturally and reliably be used to generate much better paradigms, better frameworks, and better concepts in science, and higher quality and higher order science as well. We also believe and propose that this technique become vital to scientific endeavour as a whole. In order to better perform the task of laying down the bare essentials of this paper, we review our earlier papers on scientific method of which there have indeed been many published over the last couple of years or so, including our much more recent paper on foundationalism. We also then go on to explain and elucidate why inductivism, including methodological inductivism and nomothetic approaches provide the epistemological basis for this paper, and stand us in very good stead. We also examine and explore other essential prerequisites of this approach including the need and necessity of dogma and ideology-free science, coherentism, reliabilism, internal and external validity, accuracy, rigour, precision, and also explain how this approach can be used to integrate and synthesize paradigms, frameworks, methods, and methodologies as well across a broad spectrum.
