INQUIRING SYSTEM
An orderly and fully developed procedure or
plan for investigation. Philosophically, a way of looking at
reality. Frequently used to describe the formal methodologies
of the major philosophers. The term implies adherence to rigid
set of procedures that are uniquely derived from a single,
fundamental concept of reality. (Example: one who believes that
truth and knowledge are only derived from experience would base
an investigation upon experimental procedures and would not rely
upon analysis or synthesis to extrapolate from one piece of
knowledge to another.) (Mitroff and Turoff)
