                   %SUBJECTIVE INTEGRATIVE RESEARCH 861205

     A   new  the  paradigm  for  subjective   integrative
research  can  not be helpfully  patterned after  the  old
paradigm for objective scientific research.

     Subjective  wisdom can not be based upon  alienations
between/among  subjects;   i.e.,   not  upon   separations
maintained  between the subjects who are supposed  to  act
coherently   because  of  the  knowledge  gained   through
subjective research.

     Objective  research is based upon alienation  between
subjects and objects, with limitation placed upon kinds of
human  interactions and reflections which are regarded  as
proper. Certain  kinds  of reflective/reflexive  processes
within  subjects  are  taboo.    The subjects are  not  to
reflect  in certain ways about their own interactions with
the  objects of their study.   Objective research is based
upon forbidding certain  kinds  of  subjective  processes,
especially affective and emotional ones.

     The  focus  of attention  in  subjective  integrative
research often is  upon the very kinds of processes  which
are forbidden in objective scientific research.   For this
reason  subjective  wisdom  can  not  be  based  upon  the
paradigm  which  has  been so  successful  and  tragic  in
objective  scientific  research.   Objective  success  has
heightened  the  potential costs and risks  of  subjective
foolishness; and has promoted subjected foolishness.

     It may be helpful to develop a theory of  integrative
subjective research.  In what ways may bias be avoided and
transcended   in  subjective  research?    A    compulsive
dedication  to exclusive objectivity will not evade  bias!
What  principles  and ideals can promote a proper  balance
between personal and communal integrity which will help us
all survive?
