• W67117952 abstract "Kenneth J. Gergen: Relational Being. Beyond Self and Community Oxford University Press, Oxford 2009, $ 45.00, pp. 448, ISBN 978-0-19-530538-8 While belief in power of science, even in social field, reached a peak in period after World War II, there also emerged a critique. Contributors like Kuhn, Feyerabend, Lakatos, Toulmin, Polanyi and others directed their attacks against tools of science, in particular such ideas as language, neutral observer, unequivocal empirical observation, and necessary logics. Their focus was discontinuities of science. They focused, however, less other major problem of discontinuity: that of objects. In particular in social field, those that are under investigation: people, groups, organizations, societies, are not stable, either. They are continuously move, continuously taking new shapes and forms. How can this be handled from a research perspective? How can we create knowledge about phenomena that will, in all likelihood, have undergone change by time paper is published? One response to challenges associated with the double discontinuity were trends like post-modernism, post-structuralism, deconstructivism, and similar. In spite of major contributions to critique of concepts like absolute truth, unequivocal justice, universal reason and linear progress, it can be argued that deconstruction aspect became so overriding that need for people to also construct something tended to be forgotten. People have a life to live, and institutions to build, and need to hold something as better, more true, or more reasonable, than something else. The fact that world is on move needs a positive understanding, not only a tearing down of all forms of understanding. Furthermore, since contributors to various post-schools seem, with some exception for psycho-therapy, not to have any research-related practical experiences of their own, they tend to imagine that world can be enlightened by texts alone, something that in a sense goes contrary to their own argument. The post schools would have to be followed by something that puts more emphasis positive, in this sense constructive, understanding and continuity without, however, falling back more traditional versions of universal reason. In everyday research, there are emergent trends representing, in different ways, responses to this challenge: First, rather than focusing structural properties of phenomena, focus shifts towards mechanisms that generate these properties. The generative forces are thought to be more stable than patterns they create each and every time. Second, increased emphasis is put actor (or agent) perspective, at expense of objective, path dependency type reasoning often characterizing traditional, structurally oriented kind of research. What people do, is decided more by their Intentions, perceptions and relationships, and less by objective Third, and in line with this, choice becomes more important than determinants. Fourth, more emphasis is placed what people create in interaction with each other, at expense of what individual, often rational player, is creating his or her own. Concepts like community and joint learning gain in importance. Fifth, more emphasis is put agreement between actors concerned, as foundation for whatever can be identified in terms of structural characteristics of, say, an organization, or a society, at expense of internal or external forces. Sixth, an increased emphasis is put practices, as spearhead of transactions between people. For instance, most learning takes place as a result of what happens when new efforts are made, new tools tried out, new plans put into action. Finally research itself is no exception from these trends. Research has to find its place as an actor in interaction with other people, not as an observer that in some way or other stands outside human community. …" @default.
