The Substantivist Approach

The Substantivist Approach in general knowledge emphasizes understanding concepts and ideas in their own right rather than through a purely formal or abstract lens. It focuses on the content and substance of what is being studied, considering cultural, social, and historical contexts. This perspective values the significance of human experiences, beliefs, and practices in shaping knowledge, rather than just theoretical frameworks. By grounding knowledge in real-world applications and meanings, the Substantivist Approach encourages richer insights into how we understand the world around us.
