Theories of Reflexivity

Daniel Gay

Chapter 3 in Reflexivity and Development Economics, 2009, pp 40-58 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract It is not just open-systems approaches that have attempted to move beyond the methodological divide between modernism and postmodernism. Several theories of reflexivity are explicitly directed at transcending the divide, both on the philosophical and the practical levels. Indeed most theorists of reflexivity argue that philosophy and practice are, or should be, closely connected. This idea echoes the critical realist social ontology and the idea of retroduction, as well as the more socio-economic strands of post-Keynesianism.
