“…Two points here. First, if van Manen had read Paley () a bit more carefully, he would know that I am aware of this aspect of Heidegger's thought. Indeed, I draw attention to it, at least in the context of Being and Time, where the terminology is somewhat different: “ Being‐in‐the‐world is immersion and absorption.…”

“…Indeed, I draw attention to it, at least in the context of Being and Time, where the terminology is somewhat different: “ Being‐in‐the‐world is immersion and absorption. Dasein's dealings with the world are, in the first instance, matters of practical involvement… This absorption in everyday activity is Dasein's ‘primordial’ mode of Being” (Paley, ; p. 1522). I quote Inwood: “Dasein is not aware of itself by focusing on its experiences, but in ‘what it does, uses, expects, avoids’, in things it is concerned about in the world around it” (Inwood, : p. 63).…”

Phenomenology as Qualitative Research: A Critical Analysis of Meaning Attribution has attracted the attention of Max van Manen, who has published a highly critical review article. Anyone reading this article, but unfamiliar with the book, will get a distorted view of what it is about, whom it is addressed to, what it tries to achieve, and how it goes about presenting its arguments. Not mildly distorted, in need of the odd correction here and there, but systematically misrepresented. One problem is that van Manen appears to have an idée fixe which prevents him from recognizing that the book is not about a certain philosophical tradition (known as "phenomenology"), but about a particular type of qualitative research (also known, unfortunately and confusingly, as "phenomenology"). A second idée fixe disposes him to misread an earlier article of mine and (much more seriously) three works by Heidegger. My aim in this article is to describe these two idées fixes, and exhibit their consequences. In doing so, I will examine what van Manen has to say on four crucial topics: meaning, lived experience, empathy, and Heidegger's analysis of boredom in The Fundamental Concepts of Metaphysics.

“…Modern psychological and philosophic research indicates that judgement, intuition, and memory are often profoundly irrational, unstable, and/or systematically erroneous (Kahneman, ; Alexander, ; Fernyhough, ; Paley, 2013a, 2013b). These insights problematize forms of data collection and analyses that rely upon subjective individual recall and judgement.…”

Research report appraisal: how much understanding is enough?

When appraising research papers, how much understanding is enough? More specifically, in deciding whether research results can inform practice, do appraisers need to substantively understand how findings are derived or is it sufficient simply to grasp that suitable analytic techniques were chosen and used by researchers? The degree or depth of understanding that research appraisers need to attain before findings can legitimately/sensibly inform practice is underexplored. In this paper it is argued that, where knowledge/justified beliefs derived from research evidence prompt actions that materially affect patient care, appraisers have an epistemic duty to demand high (maximal) rather than low (minimal) levels of understanding regards finding derivation (i.e. appraisers have a duty to seek a superior epistemic situation). If this argument holds assumptions about appraiser competence/ability and the feasibility of current UK conceptions of evidence based practice are destabilized.

“…Researchers, therefore, need to be able to move beyond their own preconceived notions of the intervention, to challenge the rhetoric that may be reported by participants. Otherwise, the results of the qualitative research will only be what the researcher already knew about the topic (Paley, 2014), or a reflection of common discourse, rather than a contribution of new knowledge.…”

“…Qualitative research is often focused on eliciting participants' accounts of their experience of a phenomenon or how they make sense of their experiences (Paley, 1998) as a psychological state or subjective experience (Paley, 2014). In hermeneutic research guided by Gadamer's philosophy, a person's experience of the phenomenon is seen as an experience of some thing.…”

Using Qualitative Research for Complex Interventions

There is growing recognition that current methodology to understand complex interventions in health-care often falls short of comprehensively explaining the interventions. Health-care interventions need to be understood in ways that are responsive to the complexities and intricacies of programs, people, and places. Qualitative research and mixed-methods endeavors attempt to overcome the limits of measurement-based research. This article draws on published theories of complex interventions and argues that research guided by Gadamer's philosophical hermeneutics can yield research to complement our understanding of complex interventions in health-care. Specific examples from family intervention research are provided to illustrate the type of knowledge that can be generated with hermeneutic inquiry to understand complex interventions.
