  • Upping the anti

    Stephanie Kelly, F Richardson et al.ARTICLEIdentities2024

    This article aims to synthesize the extant literature that brings sociological analysis to the context, production and perpetuation of the antiracist identity. Our aim is to distinguish this analysis from the huge body of literature written from inside antiracism. Antiracism began in the latter half of the twentieth century. This examination reveals antiracism as an identity and a project of organizational production maintained through discursive…

  • Levinas and hermeneutics on ethics and the Other

    Open AccessSteve Harrist, Frank C RichardsonARTICLETheory & Psychology2012

    A number of prominent theoretical psychologists employ the ideas of the philosopher Emmanuel Levinas to address what they take to be a harmful scientism and serious ethical blind spots in modern psychology. We argue that while Levinas’s approach no doubt incorporates a powerful and invaluable turn to ethics, it seems cryptic, limited, and one-sided in some important respects. We illustrate some of the ways these limitations show up in theoretical…

  • A hermeneutic perspective on dialogical psychology

    Open AccessFrank C RichardsonARTICLECulture & Psychology2011

    Leiman is surely right that Bakhtin's dialogism is of immense importance for psychotherapy research and psychology in general. Here I argue that Bakhtin's ideas represent an attractive third alternative to modern individualism and postmodern relativism. Philosophical hermeneutics also outlines such an alternative, one that richly complements Bakhtin's dialogism. Nevertheless, I suggest that some contemporary Bakhtinian theorists may veer too far …

  • Problematic Ontological Underpinnings of Positive Psychology

    Open AccessBrent D Slife, Frank C RichardsonARTICLETheory & Psychology2008

    In this article, we contend that many of the problems delineated in this special issue on positive psychology stem from an unexamined philosophical premise—its ontology. The world of `ontology' is vast and somewhat ill defined, but here we mean simply assumptions of what is ultimately real and fundamental, especially regarding the self. We first clarify and compare two major ontologies of the self, one that we argue underlies and spawns problems …

  • Positive Psychology and Philosophy of Social Science

    Open AccessFrank C Richardson, Charles Guignon et al.ARTICLETheory & Psychology2008

    Many of the shortcomings of `positive psychology' seem to stem from its unreflectively perpetuating key assumptions of the very mainstream social science it censures for being too `negative.' Philosophical hermeneutics and related social theory perspectives allow us to identify and critically examine such assumptions, including a one-sided individualism and narrow instrumentalism. Hermeneutics allows us to make sense of the `disguised ideology' t…

  • Thinking through Positive Psychology

    Open AccessJohn Chambers Christopher, Frank C Richardson et al.ARTICLETheory & Psychology2008

    Positive psychology offers a needed corrective to deficiencies in mainstream psychology. However, there have been relatively few attempts to systematically analyze and assess this movement. This special issue examines the conceptual underpinnings and guiding ideals of positive psychology. Generally, these articles conclude that positive psychologists have not dealt adequately with the challenge of rendering credible and illuminating accounts of h…

  • Psychology and Religion

    Open AccessFrank C RichardsonARTICLEJournal of Psychology and Theology2006

    Brent Slife (this issue) contends that classic social science methods quite naively and rather presumptuously have claimed to be value-neutral when, in fact, they are anything but. First, they tend to presuppose a tendentious philosophical and objectivism that paints a picture of the world and its workings having little if any place in for spiritual realities or religious meanings, except possibly as whimsical or even dysfunctional fantasies that…

  • Secularism, Psychology, and Hermeneutics

    Open AccessFrank C RichardsonARTICLEJournal of Psychology and Theology2006

    We are fortunate, indeed, have received thoughtful and astute commentaries on our articles. My task is reply briefly Dallas Willard's remarks. It is quite a privilege have a distinguished philosopher and philosopher of religion like Prof. Willard join a few of his thoughts this project. His reflections on cognitive and nature of knowing as a human achievement and practice constitute a valuable addition in their own right this effort. And his rema…

  • "Virtue Ethics, Dialogue, and "Reverence

    Open AccessFrank C RichardsonARTICLEAmerican Behavioral Scientist2003Referências: 22

    Contemporary theorizing about virtue in philosophy and social theory broadly includes not only virtue ethics but stimulating new perspectives on dialogue and fresh thinking about implacable human limitations. Taken together, these ideas outline a credible alternative to dogmatism, objectivism, and relativism in a pluralistic modern context. They also offer promising leads for rethinking social inquiry in such a context for an approach to inquiry …

  • Interpretive Social Science

    Open AccessFrank C Richardson, Blaine J FowersARTICLEAmerican Behavioral Scientist1998Citada por: 4Referências: 17

    Mainstream social sciences in the 20th century have always been highly fragmented, with considerable isolation among disciplines such as psychology, sociology, and political science and many disconnected islands of theory and research pursued within each field. Today, even more fundamental epistemological questions about the nature of human action or social life and the proper way to explain or understand it are hotly debated and remain quite unr…

  • Toward a Dialogical Self

    Open AccessFrank C Richardson, Anthony Rogers et al.ARTICLEAmerican Behavioral Scientist1998Citada por: 15Referências: 12

    This article outlines four broad notions of the self or human agency. They are a traditional understanding of the self as defined by a meaningful cosmic order, a modern notion of the self as highly individualized and autonomous, often termed self-contained individualism, a decentered conception of the self as developed recently by postmodern and social constructionist thought, and a dialogical understanding of self and agency elaborated by hermen…

  • Individualism, Family Ideology and Family Therapy

    Open AccessBlaine J Fowers, Frank C RichardsonARTICLETheory & Psychology1996

    This paper examines the ethical aims of family therapy and its relationship to the ideals of contemporary culture. Although family therapy has defined itself in part by rejecting an individualistic view of persons, it appears to have adopted a normative ideal for families that is tightly bound up with modern individualism. The modern nuclear family is a crucial support for individual autonomy in contemporary society through its provision of a pri…

    Frank C RichardsonARTICLEInternational Journal for the…1996Referências: 3

    Daniel Helminiak's A Scientific Spirituality: The Interface of Psychology and Theology is briefly examined from an interpretive social science perspective. Helminiak's article is seen as making a strong contribution to restoring a genuine ethical or spiritual dimension of human action and agency to human science inquiry, and to our search for a way beyond objectivism and relativism. Friendly criticisms are offered to the effect that Helminiak's k…
