Abstract :
We begin this paper by defining various
pertinent and relevant terms such as the term
inductivism in science, hypothetico-deductivism, and
subsequently also provide the definitions of various other
terms such as a methodology which naturally also
include and encompass terms such as research and
scientific methodology, scientific methods, scientific
techniques, scientific processes and scientific procedures;
we then proceed to lay down the bare essentials of what
we would like to call “Methodological inductivism”, and
also provide a justification and a raison d’etre for the
same. We also discuss other allied, related and contingent
approaches in the market such as method triangulation,
methodological holism, methodological individualism,
methodological pluralism, etc in a fair level of detail. We
also present, list and lay down bare and in great detail,
the various steps involved in the aforesaid technique of
“Methodological inductivism”, and also analyse and
discuss the various advantages of the this approach. We
also discuss why this could be a defining characteristic of
contemporary science, and could help distinguish
modern science from we would like to call legacy science,
and discuss how this could propel science to an
altogether new trajectory and take it to new heights
besides forging a healthier collaboration among scientists
and researchers across disciplines and geographies. It
could also reduce gaps in a multi-speed civilization and
lead to scientific progress at the speed of light.
