For a continuous reading of Hugo Dingler

January 2014

N. Schappacher

Given the considerable interest in certain aspects of Hugo Dingler's thought, esp. for foundational questions of the experimental sciences, on the one hand, and the national-socialist slurs in his publications and activities from 1933 through 1945, the article probes the coherence of Dingler's work as a whole.

The "strong criticism" of science and the implication to science education

December 2004 · Ciência & Educação (Bauru)

In this article we discuss some issues from what can be termed vaguely postmodernists tendencies in philosophy and social history, trying to establish some implications from these positions for Science Education. Although problematic aspects exist in their assumptions, we think they may contribute to our understanding of science and help us to prepare more responsible citizens.

The Network Approach to Social Capital – The Concept of Ronald S. Burt

January 2011

Julia Häuberer

In the previous chapter we concluded that it is useful to concentrate on the structural aspect of social capital to derive a general theory about it. In the literature we find such models in Burt and Lin's conceptions. The present chapter deals with the former. To acquaint the reader with Burt's way of thinking, we will introduce the foundations of his concept: the structural theory of action and ... [Show full abstract] the general concept of networks. Then we will introduce the concept of structural holes representing social capital. As done in the previous chapters, we will outline the most critical points of the concept and derive a theorem for empirical testing. To ascertain this theorem's validity we will contest its empirical results starting with Burt's own studies and continuing with others at the business as well as the individual level. Finally, we will conclude how Burt's concept contributes to a general theory of social capital.

Learning about being critical

April 2005 · Information Systems Journal

Geoff Walsham

This short paper is a response to the article by McGrath in this issue which argues that information systems (IS) researchers need to be more explicit about ‘being critical’. I accept her point, and I use this paper to offer a sketch of my personal journey in learning about criticality, and some thoughts from where I am now on various aspects of carrying out critical IS research.
