Document Summary

Adress and solve real world problem collective body of understanding. Narrow and circumscribed concepts that are understanding of broader less concrete domain specific (concrete + limited concepts problem) Applied theorizing: when the intent is to address and hopefully solve an immediate real- world problem. Basic theorizing: going into more detail of a body of our understanding, therefore not for the purpose of addressing a pressing problem. You can see science as having two major fields: applied and basic. Intersubjectivity (p. 33): scientists agree on empirical existence of empirically verifiable facts, and could, if so desired, reproduce them. More thinking tools: observing, imaging, recognizing patterns, pattern forming, analogizing, abstracting, body thinking, empathizing, dimensional thinking, thought playing, transforming, synthesizing, modeling. Deciding to be creative (p. 44): making the decision to be creative. Grounded theory (p. 48): theoresist should set aside their preconceptions and base their theories solely on the research.
