Epistemology, Ontology, and Axiology in Research

Organizational Communication Channel
Epistemology, Ontology, and Axiology are terms in research that address underlying assumptions that shape every research, theory, and methodology approach in the social sciences.
Separately, they are branches of philosophy that deal with knowledge/knowing, what the nature of existence is (especially in the existing and nature of human beings), and values.
Together, a richer understanding of these three terms will help you developed a more sophisticated reading of theory and research.
