Theoretical and Methodological Foundations of the Formation of Concepts of social science, Affecting the Development of Human Capital

Abstract

This article discusses approaches of the concepts in social sciences formation and their compatibility with each other . It is well known that the principles of theoretical analysis in the form of ontology and epistemology, as well as various methodological tools, such as sequential research projects, are used in the formation of a concept . Epistemological debates often bring positivists or realists who believe in a particular reality of social phenomena against constructivists or interpreters who emphasise the perception and interpretation of the individual . We argue that questions are more complex because there are several positions between these extremities . Methodological debates often represent a confrontation between the quantitative methods used by positivists and the qualitative methods used by constructivists and interpreters .
