emrgnc
paradigm
A paradigm provides a set of assumptions, concepts, values, and practices that constitutes (and confirms) a way of viewing reality for the community that shares them.
emrgnc, like all research methodologies, has a paradigm which informs and contains its practice. The emrgnc paradigm integrates a unique philosophy, with a correlating ontology, guiding methodology and an integrative epistemology. Its ontology is founded in the disciplines of apithology. Its dominant methodology is described as holistic structuralism. Its epistemology is grounded in the integral and aperspectival frames. It is informed by the inquiries of integral post-metaphysics and other integrative philosophies that respect and balance different truth domains.
Simply..., the approach that guides emrgnc is that everyone is right, the answer lying not in one right way, or a compromise to all right ways, but the integration of all ways into a perspective of the whole by respecting where each truth is, in a holarchy of emergent truths.
To find this harmony of perspectives involves an integration of all ways of knowing experienced as an aware unfolding. It is the discipline of understanding and working with emergence from the aperspectival perspective.
