Abductive Analysis by Iddo Tavory and Stefan Timmermans delves into the intricacies of social research, presenting a compelling framework that enhances our understanding of qualitative analysis. This thought-provoking work challenges conventional methodologies and offers readers a fresh perspective on the role of abduction in social research.
At its core, Abductive Analysis explores the process of generating hypotheses and understanding social phenomena through a lens that prioritises creativity and intuition. Tavory and Timmermans argue that traditional deductive and inductive approaches often fall short in capturing the complexity of social life. They propose a method that embraces the unexpected and values the generation of new insights over mere validation of existing theories.
This book is ideal for students and scholars in the fields of sociology, anthropology, and social research. It is also beneficial for practitioners who seek to enhance their analytical skills and embrace a more nuanced understanding of social dynamics. Readers who appreciated other works by Tavory, such as Transcendental Sociologies, will find Abductive Analysis to be a valuable addition to their library.
