21st century
Transition from natural science and social engineering approaches,
(consistently pursued by Shchedrovitsky, Russia) to humanitarian and,
so to speak, “participatory” approaches
Participatory approaches
- controlled impact of interested parties, controlled participation
…..
- participants as creators - those who are influenced and those who
influence belong to the same social reality.
