Why? This question drives scientific inquiry, not least in the
social sciences: why war, revolution, racism and inequality? Asking
and debating about 'why?', however, is not the prerogative of
scholars; social actors, endowed with thought, reflection and
speech, do it too. While we all dance to the beat of genes,
emotions, identities and habituated norms, we occasionally stop to
ask 'why?' The social sciences have been long preoccupied with the
ostensibly objective 'why' while sidelining the social,
intersubjective 'why?' This book focuses on the latter, analysing
the social actors' search for justification in their public,
political sphere. Justifications, broadly understood, are answers
to why-questions given and debated by social actors. The chapters
focus on public justifications. While the contributors do not
submit that private encounters addressing why-questions do not
matter, they choose to put public encounters addressing these
questions under scrutiny. Given the ongoing telecommunications
revolution, and new political practices associated with it, these
public encounters become increasingly pertinent in our evolving
political orders. This book originally published as a special issue
in Contemporary Politics.
