Abstract

Abstract The article discusses the relevance of the methodological approach called Phronetic Social Science (PSS) developed by Bent Flyvbjerg, in the context and framework of empirical diaconal research. This methodology anchors the understanding of knowledge in the Aristotelian term phronesis. PSS also uses the power understanding of Michel Foucault as an analytical tool. An understanding of empirical diaconal research as normative is a core statement and a premise for the methodological discussion. Solidarity with the weak part is the basis of this normativity, and the analytical approach is anchored in the norms of the Church. The research question is: What relevance has PSS as a methodological approach to discussion of the concept of normativity in empirical diaconal scientific work?
