Abstract


          Philosophy and research paradigms between positivism and naturalism had been arguments or quarrels for a long time because of their different stances of knowledge set in the pursuit of knowledge or truth in the social sciences. This article was compiled to presents the development and knowledge base of both concepts through the objective and subjective methods. However, the main object of this article aimed to present the concept of subjectivity method in order to demonstrate that the paradigm and methodology of studying the social world was complex and indistinguishable connection between the student himself and the world or the subjective itself. This was because of human society was a complex interconnectedness as mentioned. Their behaviors or actions were behind driven by motivation, values and beliefs which would be different for each group of people and society. This also brought about the different definition of social behavior or action. Therefore, an important tool of the study was the need for students to engage themselves closely with phenomena in order to understand and interpret social phenomena.
