While complementarity has been a major force in the epistemology the physical sciences, its role in die human sciences has been metaphorical at best. We argue that this state of affairs is in large measure due to particular way complementarity has been specified: As presently specified, complementarity is incompatible with human science research, and unless it is radically transformed in its articulation, cannot play a major role human science understanding. Based on the idea ofrecursiwty, we present an alternate specification which we suggest is compatible with human science and illustrate our thesis with examples from ecology, interpretation, and human consciousness
