| Tiivistelmä: | This paper offers an outline of, and justification for, what the author calls a 'trusting constructivist' approach to systemic inquiry. The author works with the constructivist view that, as Banathy puts it: 'what we know about the world becomes projected onto the world'. That is, the authors' theoretical constructions and ways of thinking in relation to the world cannot be considered separately from the impacts that they might have on the unfolding of possibilities. Recognizing the authors' involvement in the development of systems means that we can reconsider-with others-the status of our own constructions as potentially generating self-fulfilling effects. A trusting constructivist view suggests that people cannot desist from offering their own constructions in processes of inquiry. |
