- Title
On Epistemological Pluralism in Design Science.
- Authors
Niehaves, Bjørn
- Abstract
The author reflects on epistemology of design science. According to him, design science research is not only a positivist domain, but is also open to other epistemologies and is ingrained in a system of theoretical, descriptive and empirical knowledge. He argues that there is still no in-depth discussion of epistemology in information systems design science and existing discussion on design science research is usually dominated by an implicit presumption of a positivist epistemology.
