Produktbeschreibung

In this, the first book to focus on 'Reflexivity', the following is discussed in detail: 1) Where does the ability to be 'reflexive' comes from? 2) What part do our internal reflexive deliberations play in designing the courses of action we take? 3) Is 'reflexivity' a homogeneous practice for all people and invariant over history? Throughout, contributors refer to influential thinkers like Habermas, Giddens, Bourdieu and Beck.
