BUENO CUADRA, Roberto. A note regarding complexity and qualitative paradigm. liber. [online]. 2014, vol.20, n.2, pp.353-368. ISSN 1729-4827.
In social sciences, the subject of complexity arises frequently in the context of the discussion between the quantitative and qualitative paradigms and in that debate, it is almost always associated with the latter, on the basis, that complexity necessarily implies, taking a holistic, idiographic approach, not reductionist or comprehensive in the social sciences. This article intends to argue against that assumption, showing that any paradigm shift towards the qualitative approach is not required to assume a complex vision in social sciences.
