Reflective Lifeworld Research

چکیده
Qualitative research comes with various forms and faces, and, fortunately, there now exist numerous books that deal with issues related to qualitative research. Not that many books, however, deal explicitly and extensively with the transformation and application of principles of phenomenology and hermeneutics. Reflective Lifeworld Research is written as a response to this apparent need. It is, moreover, a response to the frustration caused by the current, and historical, shortage of research into concrete, lived, subjective experiences and their meanings for recipients of various practices, mainly health care recipients and students. The book is, as such, both timely and important. It is a useful contribution to a field that has frequently been investigated through a more positivistic lens.

Characteristics of the lifeworld are drawn from philosophy and applied to examples of IS research. Surprisingly, both positivist and critical research can be both theorizing and lifeworld-oriented, though in d...
