Abstract

This paper aims to discern, clarify, criticise, and advocate some uses of phenomenology in sociological research. Phenomenology is increasingly evoked or implicitly employed in sociological endeavours. Little attention, however, is paid to what is entailed in taking a phenomenological approach, and whether it is employed to advance empirical or theoretical knowledge. I build an analytic typology of different empirical and theoretical uses of phenomenology, criticise a range of these uses, and argue that other uses bear significant potential for the advancement of theoretical and empirical knowledge. The paper's main contribution lies in comparing and contrasting the many invocations of phenomenology in contemporary social scientific research to discern their benefits and shortcomings.

论现象学在社会学研究中的应用:一种类型学、一些批评和一种恳求
本文旨在对现象学在社会学研究中的某些应用进行辨析、澄清、批评和倡导。在社会学研究中,现象学被越来越多地唤起或暗中使用。然而,人们很少关注采用现象学方法的意义,也很少关注采用现象学方法是为了推进经验知识还是理论知识。我对现象学的不同经验和理论用途进行了分析分类,对其中的一系列用途进行了批评,并认为其他用途对理论和经验知识的发展具有重大潜力。本文的主要贡献在于比较和对比了当代社会科学研究中对现象学的多种运用,以发现它们的优势和不足。

期刊介绍: The Journal for the Theory of Social Behaviour publishes original theoretical and methodological articles that examine the links between social structures and human agency embedded in behavioural practices. The Journal is truly unique in focusing first and foremost on social behaviour, over and above any disciplinary or local framing of such behaviour. In so doing, it embraces a range of theoretical orientations and, by requiring authors to write for a wide audience, the Journal is distinctively interdisciplinary and accessible to readers world-wide in the fields of psychology, sociology and philosophy.
