ПРОБЛЕМЪТ ЗА РЕФЛЕКСИВНОСТТА И (НЕ)СВОДИМОСТТА НА ЦЕННОСТНИТЕ РЕДОВЕ
TOWARD REFLEXIVITY-PRACTICE RELATION

Summary/Abstract: With regard to humanities and social sciences the late 20th century was marked by struggles for how to call the social world “we live in”. Labels like second modernity, globalization, reflexive modernization, risk society, etc. are more and more successful to push aside the critical heritage of postmodernism and of neomarxism toward a theoretical restoration of the subject of social action. In the text this is viewed as an exhaustion of an effect called “1968th effect”. The problem however is what could be the resource for such a turn toward a subject thinking of social action after the postmodern deconstruction of the subject. The text suggests that the resource consisted in a rethinking of the notion of reflexivity in such a way that it could embrace the notion of a practical reflexivity. Two lines of argumentation leading into this direction are traced: the shortening of the symbolic distance between social-scientific and everyday knowledge, and the justification of a non-cognitive type of reflexivity.
