Background

The Transdisciplinary Philosophy-of-Science Paradigm for Research on Individuals (TPS Paradigm) is a line of research that cuts across several fields of the life sciences, social sciences, psychology, physics, metrology and philosophy of science to enable transdisciplinary explorations that match the complexity of individuals and their lives. 

A central concern is to critically analyse, improve and redevelop metatheories, methodologies and research practices needed for comprehensive investigations of the various kinds of phenomena studied in or in relation to individuals.

The TPS Paradigm has been applied in various empirical studies involving human individuals of different ages and sociocultural backgrounds as well as individuals from more than 10 different species, especially, primates.
