Researching Values with Qualitative Methods (eBook, ePUB)

Empathy, Moral Boundaries and the Politics of Research

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Engaging with theories of value formation and the role of values in everyday life found in ethics, classical sociology and contemporary social theory and their implications for empirical work, Researching Values with Qualitative Methods argues for a pragmatist approach both to understanding values and the manner in which they are formed, as well exploring the ways in which they can be studied empirically, using qualitative research methods.

Rezensionen

'In the social sciences today there is an undeniable gap between theoretical debate and empirical research on values, their genesis and change. Based on intense experience in fieldwork and on pragmatist social thought, this well-written book is of great help for all who are trying to bridge that gap and make the social sciences more ethical again.' Hans Joas, Humboldt University, Berlin, and University of Chicago, USA 'This accessible text provides a guide for comprehending the resurgence of interest in values amongst qualitative scholars, outlining the benefits of comprehending social life and behaviour in relation to values, and most significantly provides invaluable insights and practical strategies for how this analysis can be undertaken.' Brad West, University of South Australia, Australia 'Much more than a book on research methods, this is a consistently thoughtful and engaging reflection on the nature of values in society and in social research and how we might understand them, and a powerful critique of existing approaches. I would recommend it to anyone doing social research.' Andrew Sayer, Lancaster University, UK
