Social Science or Social Engineering? Some Criticisms on Doxalogical Social Science Practices in Turkey (original) (raw)

AI-generated Abstract

The paper critiques the prevailing perception of social sciences in Turkey as a form of social engineering, a view influenced by Pierre Bourdieu's concept of 'doxa.' It introduces the term 'doxalogical engineering' to describe practices that reinforce this perception, arguing that such practices lack reflexivity and critical evaluation. The paper emphasizes the need for reflexivity in the academic field to address misuses of science and to foster a critical intellectual environment.
