Thinking Science

Description:

Thinking About Science is a book on sociology and phenomenological philosophy focused on developing new approaches to performativity theory within research methodology, the philosophy of science, and sociology. It proposes decoupling the subject-object relationship as a rich field for epistemology and research methodology. The book theorizes the foundation of performativity theory within the pragmatics of the everyday lifeworld of common sense and discusses a reconstruction of the subject-object relationship as it evolved from the ancients and classics to modern thought, and from Aristotle and Hegel to modern and contemporary science. This book connects and clarifies new current possibilities for performativity theory and research between theoretical thought and empirical research, allowing us to understand the specifics of my theory of performativity. The book then develops a theorization of the relationship between subject and object from the perspective of the logic of concepts, centering a discussion that contrasts the logic of concepts of Hegel and Kant. The main proposal of both efforts is to attempt to show a contemporary phenomenological path that succeeds in renewing, enriching, reaching, and innovating the discussion on this issue between sociology and philosophy. In fact, a complete classical philosophical theory on the phenomenology of concepts is proposed. As a result, a restoration of the concept of World is necessary, and therefore a theoretical discussion is needed to intertwine the concept of presence under the idea of ​​world with subjectivity as well as with pragmatism, making distinctions between full presence, deferred presence, presence before us in consciousness, presence before us in language/genesis of the sign, and presence under difference.
