... how to become a philosopher ... hehehe

i saw google has something to celebrate today ... as usual this curious cat will not let it be ... 

ohhh a philosopher ... hmmm ... nama yang dirujuk banyak penulis ...

but ... at the end of the analysis i am more impressed by this ...

elaborated in wikipedia ... what he was about was described in these last two little paragraphs ...

"... Philosopher Richard Rorty has argued that Foucault's 'archaeology of knowledge' is fundamentally negative, and thus fails to adequately establish any 'new' theory of knowledge per se. Rather, Foucault simply provides a few valuable maxims regarding the reading of history. Says Rorty:

As far as I can see, all he has to offer are brilliant redescriptions of the past, supplemented by helpful hints on how to avoid being trapped by old historiographical assumptions. These hints consist largely of saying: "do not look for progress or meaning in history; do not see the history of a given activity, of any segment of culture, as the development of rationality or of freedom; do not use any philosophical vocabulary to characterize the essence of such activity or the goal it serves; do not assume that the way this activity is presently conducted gives any clue to the goals it served in the past."^[162]

Philosopher Roger Scruton argued that Foucault was a "fraud" because he exploited known difficulties of philosophy in order to "disguise unexamined premises as hard-won conclusions"...^[163]

... i like the idea that some people can provide different viewpoints ... tidak terpengaruh dengan sanjungan from the mass ...

 so back to ... how to become a philosopher ...

1 ... offer brilliant redescriptions of the past, supplemented by helpful hints on how to avoid being trapped by old historiographical assumptions.

2... exploit known difficulties of philosophy in order to "disguise unexamined premises as hard-won conclusions".

hehehe ...

and back to ... harapkan pagar ... conclusion nya ... we had a fraud for a pagar that has failed to deliver the national kra for economic empowerment of the poor (... memperkasakan ekonomi rakyat berpendapatan rendah ... sumber ... 1AZAM ... sini ...)

... apakah kerna asik mengumpul tajir ... 

Ini kata mereka ...

Malaysian workers lack performance culture, say experts

 

According to them ...

A check by The Star with several human resource

 practitioners revealed that Malaysian workers in general only spend four hours in a regular nine-to-five work period being productive.

Another two hours are spent on social networking sites

 or browsing through the Internet, 

whilst

 long lunches, cigarette breaks, tea breaks and office chatter make up for the other two hours.

hmmm ... betul ke ... ? "experts" yang cakap ni ...

'`'`'

a research issue for those who are still searching for a research problem ... :)

Validity ... and reliability

thinking on line again ...

Creswell says ...

Validity does not carry the same connotations in qualitative research as it it does in quantitative research, nor is it a companion of reliability (examining stability or consistency of responses) or generalizability ( the external validity of  applying results to new settings, people, or samples ...).

Whilst Gibbs (2007) says ( as cited by Creswell) ...

Qualitative validity  means that the researcher checks for the accuracy of the findings by employing certain procedures, while qualitative reliability indicates that the reseacher's approach is consistent across different researchers and different projects.

 (Creswell, 2009, p. 190)

~

  meaning ... Creswell accepts Gibb's perspective that in qualitative research the concept of validity (kesahan) is about accuracy of findings ... and reliability (kebolehpercayaan) is about consistency of approach ...

next step: we will need to elaborate on how to ensure accuracy of findings and consistency of approach ...

sorry kengkawan, this is a real life comprising routines, research pursuit, papers and sleepless nights ... :)
