The book is about a new paradigm in social sciences, contemplative inquiry. It concerns theory, methods of research,and practical applications. Deep contemplation of a situation could be an epistemological choice for social scientists. It is a fundamentally different approach to research, whereby the investigator is researching not only the object, but also the situation of research and herself/himself in it. Contemplating is a dual way of approaching the truth. It does not mean that the researcher is mentally divided; on the contrary she/he wants to be complete and achieve the unity of being as a researcher-human being and as an element of the situation (psychosocial and historical). Contemplating enables researchers to see how the mind works and create images and reports from the field: What is available for the mind and what is silent or repressed because of the dominating rhetoric of description and rhetoric of feeling? Contemplation is not only analysis, it is also an ethical choice of stopping here and now to see the situation clearly and reporting it together with all th reservations that could result from the mindfully observed interaction of mind, self, and situation at one historical moment.

The Meaning of Contemplation for Social Qualitative Research
This book offers an account of contemplative reflection in qualitative social research. Focusing on the experiences of the researcher including sensory and emotional experiences and the work of the mind in the investigative process, it considers the means by which the researchers basic assumptions can be analyzed and bracketed, so as to shed light on the process by which knowledge is produced. Through an exploration of the methods of meditation, auto-observation and self-reports, epoch, contemplative memoing, and the contemplative diary, the author explores the essential role of subjectivity in qualitative research, providing inspiration for more mindful research. As such, it will appeal to scholars of sociology, anthropology, and geography with interests in phenomenology, research methods, and the role of the mind in the research process.
Krzysztof T. Konecki is Professor of Sociology and Chief of the Department of Sociology of Organization and Management at the University of d, Poland. He is also editor-in-chief of Qualitative Sociology Review and President of the Polish Sociological Association. He has published extensively on qualitative methods and grounded theory methodology and is the author of Advances in Contemplative Social Research.

1 Grounded theory methodology and phenomenological qualitative research
DOI: 10.4324/9781003179689-2
Introduction
The chapter will concentrate on grounded theory methodology (GTM) from the point of view of phenomenology (PH). I will analyze some classical books and ideas of grounded theory (GT) to see some possibilities of enriching GTM and adapting phenomenological thinking to GTM.
The goal of this chapter is to explain the similarities and differences between GTM and PH. We want to see how these two approaches could be an inspiration for creating a thoughtful approach in social research that is more reflexive, contemplative, and self-aware.
GT is an approach to research and analysis that emphasizes the focus on explicating and elaborating data while theorizing or building theories. The categories and concepts should be derived from the analysis of the data, not from existing theories (). It avoids the logical elaboration of hypotheses based on previously accepted axioms or assumptions and already defined concepts, as was done, for example, in the theories of Talcott Parsons or Robert Merton. Theoretical diagrams emerge systematically from empirical data which directly relate to the observed reality.
Hypotheses, concepts, and properties of concepts are built during empirical research and are then modified. There is also an iterative process of analysis and returning to the empirical field to collect the data (, 2007). So, building a theory is related to empirical research and the researchers experiencing the world.
This ).
Barney Glaser maintains the position that a theory is discovered, and he is against the constructivist approach (:95). The connection should be more appreciated, and it could show the effectiveness in discovering GT.
However, Kathy Charmaz ().
The construction of the theory has the character of continuously returning from deduction to induction to modify earlier arrangements (to reconstruct categories, change hypotheses, reconfigure theoretical diagrams) if the data interpretations suggest doing so. A test for the theory is whether it works, i.e., whether it explains and provides an interpretation of the phenomena (). This is a pragmatic methodological approach. It does not tell us whether the theory reflects reality (whether it mirrors the reality), only if it achieves what it was intended to achieve, for example, if it has explained the origin of a given phenomenon or has made it understandable.
We can add here that the constructivist GT is based on the concepts of :240). The researcher/analyst wants to give the reader the chance to assess how the researcher influences the research process, so the control of the researchers activities and attitudes are the issues:
Reflexivity [is] the researchers scrutiny of his or her research experience, decisions, and interpretations in ways that bring the researcher into the process and allow the reader to assess how and to what extent the researchers interests, positions, and assumptions influenced inquiry.
(:63)
Thanks to reflexivity, the researcher gains an insight into the work of his or her mind and the patterns of perception of the world.
The classic as well as the constructivist and critical approaches take the same inspiration from the basics of GTM, although there are some important differences. Assumptions should be avoided (classic GT) or critically reconstructed and analyzed (constructivist and critical GT). We can see the innovative potential in GTM in all of the above-mentioned approaches. The freshness of seeing the reality and analyzing it without preconceived concepts, and with a very open and critical analytical method, seem to be the basis of GTM.
