In social science, antipositivism (also interpretivism, negativism or antinaturalism) is a theoretical stance which proposes that the social realm cannot be studied with the methods of investigation utilized within the natural sciences, and that investigation of the social realm requires a different epistemology.
That is some serious BS.
Bottom line meaning: There is no Truth, all things are relative and subjective and "the end justifies the means". There are immutable consequences re Truth. And subjective interpretation will not assuage the the pain of said consequences. Though one might assume the burder of pain with the (subjectively perceived) consolation that one is a martyr for the greater good.
It's a mess.

in the context of the social sciences, the antipositivism of critical theory has taken on a twofold character: it is at once epistemological and sociological. This dual character can be identified through the two separate meanings of the term ‘critique’ which plays such an important role in the thought of the critical theorists
