ABSTRACT
In the previous chapter the concepts of micro-politics and segmentarity were presented and put to work in order to account for movement as preceding positions. In this chapter, we turn to the concept ‘transcendental empiricism’. The concept is presented and put to work as a way of trying to account for the ongoing work of collective, intense and unpredictable experimentation that is taking place in between practice and research in the preschools in Stockholm and its suburbs. This chapter makes a first attempt to work with the second decisive point:
2. In the preschools teachers and researchers work together through collective, intense and unpredictable experimentation. In this process teachers as well as researchers are caught up in a relational field. For this to be theoretically workable, the reliance on the transcendent principle of conscious critique needs to be rethought and reinforced by other possible and alternative scientific methods.
