processes of reality construction Explanation: Although the quote below deals with Berger and Luckmann, I could imagine it being applied to Plessner as well.. "By investigating the processes of reality construction locally and in situ, they complement the general level of analysis in social Construction and materialize what had been Berger and Luckmann's goal from the outset: to found an empirical sociology of knowledge.

self-positioning Explanation: this slightly more than a guess after reading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmuth_Plessner, perhaps it can lead you to the proper answer (or it is the proper answer) |

construction principle Explanation: "Plessner, therefore, sought a construction principle which gave fundamental unity to heteronomous, subject-independent content..."

peer agreement (net): +2constructive / structuring process Explanation: As far as I understand Plessner, from memory, he writes about individuals and objects forming a sense of self and the boundaries of self or individuality in reference to the other or an other object or individual. I don't think this is about theoretical experiments, as you suggest. It has more to do with the construction of a sense of self and interaction with others and beyond that the mechanistics of interplay by means of "cognitive processes and psychic structures". These would then be the "constructive processes" or "structuring processes" This might help: http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=HS3Qo63wjGEC&pg=PA187&lpg... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2013-10-04 22:21:48 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- another not "an other" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 16 hrs (2013-10-05 11:36:20 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Hi, mill2, yes, I tried to find a relevant passage in EN about closed questions for you. I'm not sure it matters that this specifically is about an experiment set up by him. I think the essential idea is the same. I don't know how he organised his experiments (I did know, shame!) But he was presumably trying to demonstrate or investigate the issue of how the structuring of the self is dependent on boundaries and our interaction with them. It is a gradual, socialising process so I would go with 'structuring process' myself, I think. I hope this helps. I'm on my phone at the moment so research is rather unwieldy but if you perhaps look up Plessner and boundaries you might find confirmation of the appropriate terminology. |
