Anselm L. Strauss—Pragmatic Embedment, Pragmatic Implications
Journal Title: PRZEGLĄD SOCJOLOGII JAKOŚCIOWEJ - Year 2015, Vol 11, Issue 1
Abstract
In the paper, I will present scientific achievements of Anselm Strauss and the socio-philosophical context of how his concept of sociology emerged. The article at hand summarizes his biography and scientific development, his achievements in the field of social psychology, methodology of social science, sociology of work, and sociological theory, and I will refer to his inspirations deriving from pragmatism. Central and cohesive elements of the whole scientific achievements of A. Strauss are: processual and interaction-constructivist approach to social reality, processual-structural approach to self and identity, and the category of interaction as the underpinnings of all actions, where temporality is one of the main dimensions of social life analysis. I also will present his concept of identity and its interaction-constructivist character deriving from the tradition of social pragmatism. Moreover, I will present how his methodological achievements were conditioned.
