Abstract
In sociology, and in other social sciences, we generally talk about
others, while keeping absolutely mum about ourselves. The result is
so called “objective” (in most cases manipulated) “scientific”
dispassionate “texts”1 which obscure the reality and do not help
enriching our collective wisdom. Subjective knowledge (in Weberian
sense), drawn by applying reflexive or autobiographical method,
which is usually given no respect in the so-called scientific tradition,
could be an alternative mode of doing sociology. Discourses in
sociology and other social sciences could be drawn from lived
experiences, with high degree of embeddedness, which would help
understand the dynamics of everyday life social praxis better.
