Is there METHODS OF PHILOSOPHICAL RESEARCH???

From what I understand, there is a large division in contemporary philosophical methodology. There's analytic philosophy on the one hand and continental philosophy on the other. See the links below for more sources on this matter.

Is there METHODS OF PHILOSOPHICAL RESEARCH???
yes. one method is the phenomenological method. another is conceptual analysis. Another method is simply applying logic. If you're doing philosophical research that relies heavily on induction, then you'll rely on the scientific method.another method is that of the thought-experiment used to isolate certain concepts and key points. the socratic method is another, that of question and answer to find the 'essence' of a thing. another method is just using plain old common sense and educated intuition, philosophy is broad enought that it can incorporate a variety of different methods.
Reply:there is always a method on every research. Philosophical research's method is just like the methods of other science. however it requires more of your ideas. philosophy deals on your wisdom about the particular issue. you may research about the issue you want with in a systematic way. you can find methods in the nearest bookstore in your place. But in your philosophical research the most important is your philosophy
