Contemporary social science in general and economics in particular are
dominated by the method of logical positivism in the British
tradition. In contrast to the British philosophy, Subjectivism and
Interpretative Methodology in Theory and Practice adopts subjectivism
and interpretation methodology to understand human behavior and social
action. Unlike positivism, this subjectivist approach, with its root
in German idealism, takes human experience as the sole foundation of
factual knowledge. All objective facts have to be interpreted and
evaluated by human minds. In this approach, experience, knowledge,
expectation, plans, errors and revision of plans are key elements.
Specifically, this volume uses the subjectivist approach originated in
Max Weber’s interpretation method, Alfred Schutz’s phenomenology,
and Peter Berger and Thomas Luckmann’s sociology of knowledge to
understand economic and social phenomena. The method brings human
agency back into the forefront of analysis, adding new insights not
only in economics and management, but also in sociology, politics,
psychology and organizational behavior.
