The Reflexive Initiative: On the Grounds and Prospects of Analytic Theorizing: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The Reflexive Initiative: On the Grounds and Prospects of Analytic Theorizing" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

The Reflexive Initiative is an authoritative intervention in the practice and tradition of reflexive social theory. It demonstrates the importance of the reflexive imperative, not only in the investigation of everyday life but across a wide range of human sciences and philosophical perspectives. Forty years after the publication of On the Beginning of Social Inquiry, the chapters in this collection range from re-appraisals of earlier essays on topics such as reunions, rethinking art and expats to contributions emphasising the opening of radical dialogues with other reflexive traditions and perspectives. These include psychoanalysis, Lacan, Hegel, Rene Girard, Daseinanalysis, dialectical method, critical feminism, and the dialogical tradition.

In this dialogical spirit, the book contributes to the continuing project of analytic theorizing associated with the work of Alan Blum and Peter McHugh, and the recent turn to more existential topics and politically engaged forms of reflexive research. It will be of particular use to students working in interpretive traditions of sociology, Critical theory, Postmodern thought and debates associated with reflexivity and dialectics in other disciplines and research programmes.

This book is an invaluable guide to one of the most singularly original contributions to social thought in the last 50 years. McHugh et al.s On The Beginning of Social Inquiry began something genuinely new: radical reflexive analysis as a method of theorizing. Analysis begins from ethnomethodologys insight that social theory cannot uncover an objective reality, but rather than treating this as a limit, Analysis chooses instead to take it up as an invitation to discourse. Embracing ideas from Continental philosophy Heidegger, Gadamer, Wittgenstein, Foucault, Derrida, Lacan are just some of the people who are folded into their ken leading us backwards and forwards through the dialectic Hegel, and always the Greeks, especially Socrates the members of the Analysis community whose work is collected here bring us with them on a journey, soaring over broad vistas of social thought; taking us down into the capillaries of social life, revealing structures and processes in lucid and astonishing detail; leading us into illuminated clearings, taking us to the edge of vertiginous aporias, showing us radiant epiphanies; so that by the time one leaves the pages of this book you know as never before what Hegel means when he says that the path towards truth coincides with the truth itself. The contributors of this book show Analysis is still fresh and powerful today, while other currents of theory have flooded and ebbed. Simultaneously an intellectual genealogy and a display of the art of Analysis in practice, Blums own chapter is a virtuoso performance.

Kieran Keohane, School of Sociology and Philosophy, University College Cork, Ireland

This is a profound book, dealing with nothing less than the problems of the grounds for reflexive speech, radical self-reflection and encountering indebtedness. It is a timely collection of reflexive dialogic inquiries; particularly germane in the present climate of new positivistic empiricisms associated with the dataverse. It will be of great interest to anyone concerned with the future of sociological theorizing and its ethical and ontological dimensions.
