    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Neither the interpreter's nor the observer's perspectives are sufficient to specify opaque intentional contexts for others.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Adjudicating such interpretive conflicts requires a mode of practical reasoning that coordinates multiple perspectives.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Mutual perspective taking constitutes its own mode of practical reasoning.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    2 perspectives
    Reason against 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Gadamer's hermeneutics shows that interpretive conflicts are resolved through fusion of horizons, not reciprocal perspective-taking between discrete subjects.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Fusion of horizons is a historically situated, tradition-mediated process that cannot be reduced to a bilateral coordination of perspectives.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Therefore, mutual perspective-taking presupposes the very shared interpretive ground it claims to establish, rendering it explanatorily circular.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason against 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Wittgenstein's rule-following considerations establish that shared social practices are prior to any act of perspective-taking by participants.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If meaning in social practices is grounded in community agreement and training rather than inter-subjective negotiation, perspective-taking is a post-hoc rationalization of an already-functioning normative order.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Adjudicating interpretive conflicts therefore requires appeal to background practice, not the mutual perspective-taking that background practice already enables.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Naturalistic and hermeneutic approaches see the relationship of the subject and object of inquiry as forcing the social scientist to take either the third-person or first-person perspective. However, critical social science necessarily requires complex perspective taking and the coordination of various points of view, minimally that of social scientists with the subjects under study. The “second-person perspective” differs from both third-person observer and the first-person participant perspect
