In Foundations of Inquiry, Guoping Zhao and Lucy E. Bailey consider paradigms and how they connect to methodologies. The authors explore a rich body of paradigms (historical and contemporary) and how they form, support, and justify different methodologies and connect to designing and carrying out research.
