Abstract

The essay explores the idea that we think of works of scholarship as documents marking belonging to communities, rather than as the texts of a socially ungrounded science. It uses examples from social scientific works that study contemporary European construction to suggest the importance of incorporating into one's view apparently contradictory viewpoints.

Prispevek obravnava premiso, da znanstvene študije obravnavamo kot besedila, ki izražajo pripadnost določenemu strokovnemu krogu oziroma znanstveni skupnosti in ne kot tekste, ki so produkt družbeno nevtralne znanosti. Na osnovi primerov iz družboslovja, ki obravnavajo ustroj sodobne Evrope, avtor ugotavlja, kako pomembno je, da znanstveniki v svoj pogled na predmet obravnave vključijo tudi povsem protislovna si stališča.
