Through a comprehensive analysis, this paper seeks to shed light on the intricate relationship between philosophy and social science research, offering insights into the epistemological and methodological dilemmas that researchers grapple with in their quest for knowledge. Overall, the review paper recommends among other things that; addressing these challenges requires researchers in philosophical research methodology to engage in reflective practice, interdisciplinary collaboration, and dialogue with both philosophical and social science communities.
