Social scientists seek to describe the reflexive relationships among people. What languages would be most appropriate for describing reflexive relationships? Is it reasonable to assume that the objective languages of natural scientists would be appropriate for reflexive descriptions of the reflexive relationships among people, their ideals, and their values? How are we to judge the worth of various kind of descriptive statements? Are objective statements inherently better statements than are reflexive statements? Or might it be vice versa? According to what kinds of criteria are we to decide, discover, or determine that some kinds of statements are essentially better kinds of statements than are other kinds of statements? Are such decisions, discoveries and/or determinations to be objective or reflexive in nature? When we approach the tasks, problems and dilemmas of deciding, discovering and/or determining the appropriate responses to the above kinds of questions, we need to reflect upon whether they do, or do not, reflect back upon us in essential ways. In responding to the questions is it possible for us to do so without our responses reflecting back upon us? Only if the answer is clearly yes, can we respond objectively. If the answer is no, then our reflection should make it clear to us and to each other in open and honest discussions, conversations and dialogue; that the only honest way to approach the tasks, problems and dilemmas is in openly reflexive ways which we recognize NOT TO BE OBJECTIVE; NOT SCIENTIFIC in the traditional sense. How then are we to discriminate between nonsensical descriptions and sensible, meaningful, significant descriptions? If the traditional values and ideals of natural scientists cannot be used appropriately in deciding what responses are wise; then what values and ideals should be used? Each person who considers our reflexive descriptions must ask whether our reflexive descriptions make sense to them, are meaningful to them, and help them make sense of their own personal experiences in significant ways. If so, then our reflexive descriptions are true for them in reflexive ways; but not necessarily in objective ways. Descriptions which are reflexively true for many healthy people---will not necessarily be objectively meaningful or significant statements to natural scientists working within the confines of the objective paradigm. Similarly, descriptions which are objectively meaningful and significant statements to natural scientists working within the confines of the objective paradigm---will not necessarily be reflexively true for any people who are living honestly reflexive lives in healthy intimate personal relationships. The two kinds of statements are different, and can be meaningful and significant to different people working within the contexts of different paradigms. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
