Abductive Analysis: Theorizing Qualitative Research
Available To Downloads

In Abductive Analysis, Iddo Tavory and Stefan Timmermans provide a new navigational map for theorizing qualitative research. They outline a way to think about observations, methods, and theories that nurtures theory formation without locking it into predefined conceptual boxes. The book provides novel ways to approach the challenges that plague qualitative researchers across the social sciences—how to conceptualize causality, how to manage the variation of observations, and how to leverage the researcher’s community of inquiry.  Abductive Analysis is a landmark work that shows how a pragmatist approach provides a productive and fruitful way to conduct qualitative research.

This book is a real game changer, but be advised, it relies heavily on the pragmatist philosophy of Charles Peirce. That means that if you hate american pragmatism for whatever reason, then you're gonna hate this book as well.The authors have written a couple of articles that convey the gist of this book, so be sure to check them out if you're unsure whether to buy it or not (the book is much clearer though, and it's also cheap!)Also, there's a confusing typo on page 29 which the authors acknowledge here: abductiveanalysis (dot) com/faq/
