Some methodological ideas are ever-fragile; others endure. The former need persistent support and attention; to the latter we return as a default position. We return, not always because those methodological ideas serve us well, but because they speak to our need for stability and order – they offer us ways of seeing the world which seem to put events reassuringly within our control. Those fragile ideas – the ones to which we have only wavering commitment are the ones through which we perceive a less than predictable world and which ask us, therefore, to take a risk, to suspend our belief in order. The question is knowing whether and when it is appropriate to confront or to contain our fears
