BETWEEN DAILY ROUTINE AND VIOLENT PROTEST - ERN...

Most human action has a technical dimension. This book examines four components of this
technical dimension. First  in all actions  various individual  organizational or institutional
agents combine actional capabilities with tools  institutions  infrastructure and other
elements by means of which they act. Second  the deployment of capabilities and means is
permeated by ethical aspirations and hesitancies. Third  all domains of action are affected by
these ethical dilemmas. Fourth  the dimensions of the technicity of action are typical of human
life in general  and not just a regional or culturally specific phenomenon. In this study  an
interdisciplinary approach is adopted to encompass the broad anthropological scope of this
study and combine this bigger picture with detailed attention to the socio-historical
particularities of action as it plays out in different contexts. Hermeneutics (the
philosophical inquiry into the human phenomena of meaning  understanding and interpretation)
and social science (as the study of all human affairs) are the two main disciplinary
orientations of this book. This study clarifies the technical dimension of the entire spectrum
of human action ranging from daily routine to the extreme of violent protest.
