"Despite the openness of action research to engage with several philosophical
movements from the 20th century, there does not seem to be as much
engagement with existentialist thought. I try to point out and further
articulate certain affinities that I see between action research and existentialist
philosophy. I suggest that action research can gain from exploring
these connections. Based on the existentialist perspective, I compare
action research and more standard social science. In particular, I use
Heidegger’s notions of “das Man” and an “existentialist essence” of
human being as a key to bringing out these differences and for suggesting
ways in which action research may capitalize on such differences." (author's abstract)... view less
