Example text
By contrast, the second tradition fixes on the human subject. Subjectivity is the preconstituted centre of the experience of culture and history and as óuch provides the basic foundations of the social or human sciences. Outside the realm of subjective experience, and alien to it, lies the material world, governed by impersonal relations of cause and effect. . If interpretative sociologies are founded, as it were, upon an imperialism of the subject, functionalism and structuralism propose an imperialism of the social object (pp.
But if there is any continuity to social life at all, most actors must be right most of the time; that is to say, they know what they are doing, and they successfully communicate their knowledge (198a: 90). Social choice theorists would accept Giddens' demonstration that most su-ch knowledge is not articulated as such by agents (pp. " The lower-left cell in figure l-1 provides a home for a proposition conspicuously associated with Foucault. It is to be found throughout Giddens'recent work (1979: 88-101, l98l: 49-63, 1984: 14-16, So described, Giddens' project is to develop what I would call constructivist social thegry.
It would seem that Giddens has collapsed two sets of polarities, oneepistemological and the other ontological. The objectivist-subjectivist polarity is epistemological, the individualist-collectivist polarity on- tological. Quite properly Giddens felt that the usual practice is to identify only the first polarity Q98a: \. But in identifying the second as well, he failed to keep it separate from the first. Each is an independent ground for serious disagreement among social theorists. To acknowledge this allows the construction of a four-cell matrix of general possibilities for social theory.
