What Means “Understand” in “Perspective and Method” of Herbert Blumer’s Symbolic Interactionism?

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents Blumer’s procedure of theoretical reasoning formulated in his symbolic-interactionist program. I discuss with those who read this perspective as a radically nominalistic and hermeneutic one. In my interpretation, Blummer’s program claims for empirical social science which is to seek for adequacy of its thesis and the empirical world. As a theoretical social science, it has to respect objective character of facts that are created in human interactions. They are created when people negotiate mutually their lines of action; the last ones become the real object for symbolic-interactionism science. A formal, abstract theory of human social life is possible, but such a theory will remain permanently unstable and variable because of lability and variability of its objects themselves.
