A Transactional Approach to Research Ethics

Abstract: Constructivist (constructionist) epistemologies focus on ethics as a system of values in the mind - even when previously co-constructed in a social context - against which social agents compare the actions that they mentally plan before performing them. This approach is problematic, as it forces a wedge between thought and action, body and mind, universal and practical ethics, and thought and affect.
