The Practical Import of Political Inquiry

Mehr zum Buch

The book delves into the intrinsic connection between social inquiry and practical intent, asserting that this intent is fundamental to the inquiry process itself. It emphasizes the necessity for researchers to adopt the perspectives of participants to truly understand their experiences. The author challenges the notion that research is a detached activity, advocating instead for a model of mutual critique where participants have equal rights and abilities to critique the researchers. This approach fosters a collaborative understanding of social dynamics.
