Abstract

The author of the article states that the dynamically springing up qualitative research cannot free itself from the methodological tradition of positivism and the research projects carried out by social researchers very often fall into scientistic traps. As a result, the qualitative research frequently becomes the reverse of quantitative research. It happens so, because the researchers are not able to free themselves from the cultural matrix of modernism, whose ?carriers? they are and whose components, usually unconsciously, they apply to their research on post-modern societies.
