Summary, in English

The theme of this monograph of Informing Science is a dialectic we

perceive to exist between meaningful use and reflection upon use. This

dialectic between use and reflection on use (or thinking, and thinking

about thinking) may be considered in the following way. Each of these

elements is subject to change. As reflection triggers change in use, and

such change triggers further reflection, a spiral comes about. Lived human

experience, and reflection upon that experience, seems to shape a

double helix. The monograph contains contributions exploring particular

ways in which studies of use could benefit from a relationship to

philosophical frameworks such as hermeneutics and phenomenology.
