Practices and Possibilities

Aus dem Inhalt: 1. Indeterminacy of Interpretation and Characteristic Hermeneutic Situations. - 2. Practices, Radical Reflexivity and Hermeneutic Pre-normativity. - 3. Two Post-phenomenological Approaches to Scientific Practices. - 4. Hermeneutic Perspectives on Existential Spatiality. - The essays in this collection pull out a few threads from the enormous complexity of the “practices-possibilities” problematic. They address the problematic in terms of hermeneutic phenomenology. At stake are the issues of the constitution of meaningful objects by means of interpretative appropriation of possibilities. While becoming configured in horizons of possibilities, interrelated practices constantly project possibilities. The interplay of practices' projection and appropriation of possibilities is the kernel of a hermeneutic theory of meaning constitution. The author's aim is to integrate this theory in several scientific research programs. The book is compiled from the author's lengthy experience in collaborating with research teams working at projects in hermeneutic phenomenology of science, the double hermeneutics in the construction of practice theory, the existential spatiality in the social sciences, and the hermeneutic projects for political science. 160 Seiten, broschiert (Orbis Phaenomenologicus/Königshausen & Neumann 2013) leichte Lagerspuren/minor shelfwear
