关于范式在混合方法研究中的作用一直存在很多争论。面对过去要求每个研究人员在单一范式中进行操作的呼吁，事实证明，一些研究人员/从业者在多个范式中发现了许多积极的特征。这种混合方法研究中使用的多范式视角需要一个系统框架来实践差异性。此外，致力于单一范式的个人需要一个哲学/理论框架来在多范式团队中工作。本文提供了这样一个框架。它是一种元范式，被称为辩证多元主义2.0或更简单的辩证多元主义。多元主义这个词指的是在几乎每个探究领域（包括现实）中接受和期望差异，而古老的辩证词指的是既是辩证的又是对话的操作过程。辩证多元主义为研究人员、从业者、客户、政策制定者和其他利益相关者提供了一种共同努力并产生新的可行整体的方式，同时在差异和智力紧张中蓬勃发展。
There has been much debate about the role of paradigms in mixed methods research. In the face of past calls for each researcher to operate within a single paradigm, it turns out that some researchers/practitioners find many positive features in more than one paradigm. This multiparadigmatic perspective used in mixed methods research needs a systematic framework for the practice of engaging in difference. Also, individuals committed to a single paradigm need a philosophical/theoretical framework for working in multiparadigmatic teams. This article provides such a framework. It is a metaparadigm, and it is labeled dialectical pluralism 2.0 or more simply dialectical pluralism. The word pluralism refers to the acceptance and expectancy of difference in virtually every realm of inquiry, including reality, and the age-old word dialectical refers to the operative process which is both dialectical and dialogical. Dialectical pluralism provides a way for researchers, practitioners, clients, policy makers, and other stakeholders to work together and produce new workable wholes while, concurrently, thriving on differences and intellectual tensions.
