Question: Which of the following does not characterize the epistemology of traditional security studies?
A: Traditional security studies regards the search for empirically testable 'truths' to be detrimental to the pursuit of a practical analytical framework with which to study security, largely due to a recognition in the field that security was not limited to a narrow or easily defined set of 'real' principles.
B: Knowledge was regarded as subjective and doubts were cast on whether any empirically testable 'truths' or realities could be defined for certain.
C: Traditional security studies adopt a positivist approach, based in scientific objectivism that pursues the definition of specific 'truths' that can be empirically tested and validated.
D: Traditional security studies adopt a subjective approach to knowledge, based on the notion that what constitutes as a 'truth' or as a 'value' cannot be easily distinguished from one another.
