THE PRACTICAL IMPORT OF POLITICAL INQUIRY - BRI...

This book examines a basic problem in critical approaches to political and social inquiry: in
what way is social inquiry animated by a practical intent? This practical intent is not
external to inquiry as an add-on or a choice by the inquirer  but is inherent to the process of
inquiry. The practical intent in inquiry derives from the connection between social inquiry and
the participant's perspective. The social inquirer  in order to grasp the sense of those who
are the subject of inquiry  has to adopt the perspective of the participant in the social
world. Caterino opposes the view that research is an autonomous activity distinct from or
superior to a participant's perspective. He argues that since the inquirer is on the same level
as the participant  all inquiry should be considered mutual critique in which those who are
addressed by inquiry have an equal right and an equal capacity to criticize addressors.
