| Résumé : |
As a means to validate the jointly produced knowledge of researchers and researched, the principle of reciprocal adequacy plays an important role within the model of exemplarian action research. Since Habermas’s discourse theory provides a normative base to ground the reciprocal relationship between researchers and researched, in this article, the author tries to incorporate Habermas’s ideas into the model of exemplarian action research. This means, though, that his dichotomic view on ‘lifeworld’ and ‘system’ has to be brought in line with the dual outlook presented in Giddens’s structuration theory – which is one of the main pillars of the model of exemplarian action research. For it is only when human action and social structures are perceived in their recurrent relation that we can get a clear view on what the practice of (a critical) social science involves: taking both meanings, norms and power aspects into consideration in its search for knowledge and its efforts to enhance empowerment. This also means that reciprocal adequacy cannot be measured by the criterion of truth alone, but will also have to imply criteria of justice and authenticity. This is a prerequisite to be able to develop a concept of rationality that is not limited to the cognitive-instrumental aspect only, but also incorporates normative and expressive elements of life.
