Abstract

In this article we criticize and relativize the methodological controversy between deductive reasoning and inductive reasoning from the viewpoint of the sociology of experience. Here, "sociology of experience" means not only the application of sociology in order to analyze the experiences of others, but also sociology performed by a student in referring to experiences of his own, i.e. experiences of suffering criticism of his study brought by the parties concerned. Hence, the sociology of experience needs a method or paradigm of "dialogue" between students and the parties concerned for the purpose of rethinking and reconstructing theoretical models. Thus, we can grasp a critical moment to relativize a positivistic view of reasoning such as deduction and induction.
