Abstract
AbstractThis chapter of the part presents an example of an ideal type construction of epistemic processes focusing on interest-dense situations. The ideal type construction consists of four steps. The first step starts with reconstructing empirical cases of epistemic processes by data aggregation; it yields to pictographs that represent the investigated episodes in terms of phase structures. In the second step, these structures are grouped according to high homogeneity within and heterogeneity between the groups to shape the base for disclosing the situational key features of each group. In the third step these key features are used to create ideal types of the epistemic processes as “pure cases”. Finally the paper illustrates the fourth step describing how these types may contribute to gaining theoretical insight into the dynamic of the epistemic processes investigated.KeywordsInterest-dense situationsIdeal type constructionEpistemic processInterpretive research
