Intellectual trajectory is not organized in advance, we do not
begin by surveying the intellectual ground before deciding upon a
line of enquiry, rather we fall into conversation, our starting
points are accidental, our early moves untutored - they are not
informed by a systematic knowledge of the available territory,
rather they flow from curiosity, we read what strikesus as
interesting and discard that which seems dull.This personal
idosyncratic aspect to scholarly enquiry is part and parcel of
'doing' social science, not something to be regretted, denied or
avoided. Exploring the philosophy of social science, where claims
about the nature, intellectual value and utility of social
theorizing are routinely disputed, this book argues that social
theorizing comprises a wide diversity of situation-bound attempts
to make practical sense of shifting circumstances. Placing
theorists within the social world this study shows how theorizing
is both bounded and creative, how imagination and creativity builds
upon the resources of tradition and how such an awareness is the
basis of dialogue with other traditions, cultures and ways of
making sense of the world.
