5 Preface Many books are being published. Some are there to promote their authors fame or create various scandals. Others are created to record the author s efforts to solve some basic problems of science, art, or living in general and to communicate their findings to the readers. My book here belongs to the latter category. Methodology is central for any Wissenschaft yet what is meant by it is not always clear. In psychology since the twentieth century, the overwhelming consensus that psychology is an empirical science has led to the treatment of methodology as a toolbox of ready-made (and often standardized ) concrete methods that can be borrowed at a researcher s will without much consideration to the phenomena to which they are applied, for the purposes of producing data. And data have been produced by psychology in vast quantities often resulting in obscuring rather than clarifying the issues under investigation. Psychology is a hostage to information noise data collected and accumulated for the sake of the data themselves. Our current fascination with the big data mega-accumulations made possible by expanding computer capacities only makes the problem more acute. Big data often leads to finding tentative answers to small questions and major research questions pass the researchers by. What solution is possible? In this book, I systematically elaborate a new version of an old idea methodology is a system of mutually linked acts of creating knowledge where both abstract and concrete features of the research act are intricately intertwined. Methodology is another term for general epistemology rules of making knowledge rather than a toolbox of ready-made consumer items with nice names and social institutional supports for patented packages. Researchers think through the system of methodology, rather than apply methods that are consensually doomed to be adequate. This could be called an Einsteinian approach where deductive constructions based on theory lead to the highly selective empirical inquiries through creating arenas for experimentum crucis, rather than live in the belief that based on massive data accumulation, the research problems become solved through inductive generalization. My pathway to the writing of this book has benefitted from many interlocutors. The formative role of my K-seminars ( kitchen seminars ) started in 1997 at v
6 vi Preface Clark University and continued since 2013 in Aalborg cannot be underestimated. A preliminary version of this book was discussed in the K-seminar in the autumn of 2016 and led me to major elaboration of my ideas. Possibilities to gain feedback on my ideas from Luca Tateo, Pina Marsico, Robert Innis, Roger Bibace, Dietmar Görlitz, Nick Thompson, Robert Cairns, Jeanette Lawrence, Brady Wagoner, Angela Branco, and many others have been indispensable for the consolidation of the basic ideas in this book. My students in various universities where I have taught the University of North Carolina, Clark University, Aalborg University, Sigmund Freud Universities in Vienna and Berlin, Tallinn University, and the University of Luxembourg have taught me, under the guise of me teaching them, much in the ways of trying out various empirical probes within the bigger picture of the methodology cycle. Joint publication projects with Svend Brinkmann, Alexander Poddiakov, and Alberto Rosa have helped me to expand my understanding into areas where my knowledge has been limited. Marianne Innis gets my special gratitude for diligently working through this manuscript to improve its style in English that, even after three decades of making my efforts toward clear communication, still remains far from sufficient. Last but not least it is the generous provisions of the Niels Bohr professorship scheme of Danske Grundforskningsfond that have returned me to become again an inhabitant of the Old World and create the conditions for finishing this book. Science is international, and a small country can contribute to it in big ways once the conditions are created. Aalborg, Denmark Jaan Valsiner
