Researchers with a positivist philosophy believe that by being objective and unbiased they can see reality clearly, while researchers with a post positivist philosophy believe that they can only achieve inter subjective agreement about the nature of reality.
Step-by-step explanation:
The researcher who believe on the philosophy of positivism have a clear sense of seeing facts. They believe that these facts are empirical evidence. They believe that it is the law that exists in general according to which the society is acting accordingly. The knowledge or the views that is based on the intuition or instinct will not be considered by these researchers.
Those views that amends to the views of positivism is called as post positivism. Post empiricism is the other name for this. This is because they will not consider the empirical evidences. They believe that what is observed can differ from the theories, background knowledge of the researcher and their values to a greater extent. They believe only on the reality.
