Grounded Theory and Ethical Individualism Sample Clauses

Grounded Theory and Ethical Individualism. Building on the discussion above, it is useful to draw out the relationship between the CA’s ethical individualism (as a methodological or philosophical principle) and the methods to explore it in this study. The importance of ethical individualism, and potential objections arising from it, were discussed in the previous chapter, however it is useful to highlight how this principle is incorporated into the research design. From a methodological point of view, ethical individualism holds that ‘structures and institutions (are) evaluated in virtue of the causal importance that they have for individual well-being’ (Xxxxxxx 2005, p.107). In this sense, ethical individualism is compatible with methodological holism, which holds that research can refer to social phenomena as explanatory concepts in its analysis (Inglis 2012). From a philosophical perspective, by placing the individual at the centre of our analysis, we are committed to looking at the world through their individual eyes and assessing their freedom to be and do what they have reason to value. Importantly, this does not commit the study to defining wellbeing in terms of how these individuals describe it (as discussed in section 2.4.5) nor does it commit the study to ontological or methodological forms of individualism: the claims that no social facts exist or that they can be explained only in terms of individuals, respectively (Xxxxxxx 2005, p.107). In other words, looking at the world through a person’s eyes and asking how well their individual life is going does not preclude us from explaining their position in terms of social explanations, such as their experience of gender inequality or racism. Social goods and structures form part of our analysis because the options a person has depend on their relations to others and the actions of institutions (Xxxxx and Sen 2002, p.6), and so our analysis draws on social explanations in relation to how they can shape individual agency. This study draws on Grounded Theory to explore these aspects of ethical individualism in order to concentrate on the individual experiences of participants and the meanings they have for participants. Grounded Theory is used through semi-structured interviews and thematic coding, which emphasise this tradition’s origins in pragmatism and interactionism (Xxxxxx and Xxxxxxx 1990). The use of Grounded Theory offers the research two in-built principles that support the use of the CA as an analytical lens. Firstly, it allows for t...
