Thinking styles, epistemological approaches, and the generation of scientific knowledge

Abstract:

I describe and comment elements that characterize the Thinking Styles of people (Concrete Inductive, Abstract Deductive, Experiential Intuitive, and Non- Experiential Intuitive) and how they relate to the Epistemological Approaches that scientists show. In them, at least one of the first three Thinking Styles becomes predominant, giving rise in a correlative way to three Epistemological Approaches: the Inductive Empiricist, the Deductive Rationalist and the Introspective Vivencial.
