Description
Advances in Contemplative Social Research explores a new approach to social sciences, one that incorporates deep contemplation into research methods. This paradigm shift allows investigators to examine not only the object of study but also their own situation and themselves within it.
This dual approach enables researchers to gain insight into how the mind works and create nuanced reports from the field. By contemplating the interaction between mind, self, and situation, researchers can uncover what is available for the mind and what remains hidden due to dominant narratives of description or feeling.
Contemplative social research is not just analysis, but also an ethical choice to stop and observe a situation clearly, reporting on the results of this mindful interaction with all its attendant reservations.
