Description: Reading a Relational Situation : The Contending Lenses, Paperback by Dixon, John; Dogan, Rhys; Sanderson, Alan, ISBN 160741547X, ISBN-13 9781607415473, Like New Used, Free P&P in the UK This book draws on epistemological and ontological perspectives to identify four social-reality dispositions ('lenses'): naturalist structuralism, naturalist agency, hermeneutic structuralism, and hermeneutic agency. According to the author, th provides "heuristic insights [into] how and why people come to the conclusion that a particular social action is both possible and desirable in a particular social arena." The author contends that there is a limited set of competing 'lenses' (mutually exclusive configurations of assumptions about what can be known in a particular social arena) through which a social arena can be read. It is argued that the 'lens' through which a person chooses to read a social arena is established by how he or she wishes to engage with others in that arena for the purpose of mutual transactions. Th contains a bibliography of about 84 pages. Dixon is on the faculty of the Department of Social Sciences and Business at the University of Plymouth, UK.
