Description
Reflecting on Reflexivity: The Human Condition as an Ontological Surprise This volume approaches the concept of reflexivity from two distinct yet interconnected analytical perspectives. It explores how reflexivity shapes our understanding of selfhood, autonomy, ethics, and humanness, as well as its implications for science and social science. The book presents a collection of original essays that examine the role of reflexivity in human social life, drawing on ethnographic research. Additionally, the Preface, Introduction, and Postscript offer an anthropo-philosophical analysis that argues reflexivity is fundamental to the being and becoming of humanity.
