Scientific and Philosophical Perspective

Abstract

This chapter highlights the crucial role of the introduction in scientific studies, which outlines the study's paradigm, current status, and new insights from observations. It covers epistemology, semantics, and historical philosophy, aiming to clarify the observer's perspective and methodological approach. Core elements include information theory, semantics, and historical philosophy, providing a framework to question concepts and recognize the dynamic nature of phenomena. It critiques mainstream economic views that see privatization as a natural shift from public to private ownership, challenging the notion that public ownership is unnatural. The study questions the pragmatic/utilitarian perspective of mainstream economics, assumptions about market efficiency, and the role of the state. It discusses expected outcomes of privatization, such as consumer benefit and resource optimization, highlighting contradictions and varied economic contexts.
