Abstract:
The urgency of the task is due to the desire to ensure the ideal transmission of primary relay protection signals to microprocessor devices. The article presents the materials of the comprehensive study of electromagnetic current converters from the standpoint of assessing the possibility of using them as current sensors in microprocessor relay protection systems. The study was conducted in order to assess the limiting capabilities of electromagnetic current converters by analyzing their methodological errors. To assess the methodological errors of electromagnetic current converters, the mathematical apparatus of the theory of automatic control is used. The possibility of representing electromagnetic current converters by dynamic links with linear transfer functions is shown. The amplitude and phase frequency characteristics are considered. Analytical expressions for the frequency characteristics of electromagnetic current converters are given. Concise visual mathematical expressions are proposed to determine the boundaries of the frequency range of electromagnetic current converters according to the main parameters of the substitution circuit. The limits of the application of linear transfer functions for the mathematical description of these converters are estimated. Examples of relay protection signals passing through electromagnetic current converters are considered. Recommendations for improving the conversion properties of electromagnetic current converters are given.

Abstract:
Negative argumentation about methodological approaches threatens to limit the field of composition: it exacerbates the tension concerning the place and value of empirical studies in research; it potentially limits the field’s ability to ask certain kinds of research questions; and it risks impoverishing the methodological education offered to new practitioners in the field.

Abstract:
If one is looking for the authoritative work on the history of the modern Western concept of “self,” the place to go is Jerrold Seigel's The Idea of the Self. It is a wide-ranging, deeply insightful account of Western thinking about the nature of selfhood in Britain, France, and Germany since Descartes, framed by a powerfully argued thesis about the right way to conceptualize it. But that project was driven by what in the retrospect of Seigel's whole body of work can be seen as an even more comprehensive historical program, one both methodological and substantive. One of Seigel's basic historiographical convictions, more implicit than systematically argued, is that individual subjectivity matters for historical explanation. His broader substantive interest is in the meaning of the Western notion of “modernity,” above all in its implications and consequences for our contemporary self-understanding. Methodological conviction and substantive interest are tightly interwoven. As Seigel sees it, the process of European modernization was guided by, and in turn further developed, a historically locatable, complex, and internally conflicted version of universal selfhood—the autonomous bourgeois self. His corpus is an extended and evolving exploration of this process and its result, which he finds most clearly documented in European thought and culture from the mid-seventeenth century to the mid-twentieth.

Abstract:
The main characteristics of methodological individualism as an approach usedin economics to the study of social phenomena are revealed and the associated with it wayof presenting accumulated knowledge. The authors show how methodological individualismis positioned in economics where Lakatos' research programs compete with each other. The study examines possible limitations in applying methodological individualism to relations between people mediatedby language as a means of communication, including in the lightof socialization processes, as well as in the light ofdifferences in the research process and theway of presenting its outcomes. The authors show that with the spread of technologies basedon artificial intelligence, the question of whether self-learning algorithms successfully passingthe Turing test should be considered as a challenge for applying the traditional understandingof methodological individualism in future economic research. Methodological individualismis one of the important issues in the modern methodology of economics, in the light of whichthe paper discusses various aspects of the relationship between methodologicalholism and individualism.

Abstract:
The article studies methodological approach, advanced by the author, to using key predictors of organizational transformation necessary to forecast limits of feasible organization growth within the frames of the present production structure. The principle distinguishing feature of this methodological approach is the use of indicators defined by the author as key predictors of organizational transformation. This set of indicators was identified by the author through results of earlier statistical research of transformation laws of organization production structure in different sectors of economy. With the help of such indicators it is possible not only to describe the predominant type of organization production structure but also, on the basis of their quantitative values, to identify limits of corresponding level of its development. Methodological approach advanced by the author is based on statistical methods of research and gives an opportunity to forecast limits of feasible organization growth based on the earlier developed method of their production structure. Within the frames of the given methodological approach the method of statistical forecasting limits of feasible organization growth was elaborated. The use of this methodology could allow organization management to forecast in advance the moments of coming organizational transformation, which is connected with changes in production structure type and to make necessary managerial decisions.

Abstract:
Against the backdrop of rich theoretisation of borders, the nodal importance of the transboundary area requires articulating its conceptual, methodological, and analytical potential. Focusing on the subject of state borders, through terminology review the article contributes to better structuring the idea of a single zone, marginal for the centers on the both sides of the divide, as well as to presenting the transboundary in its capacities of a spatial level of operation, a medium, and a tool of analysis. It then sketches the transboundary area problem pattern that can be investigated within the same framework, being a transborder problem stemming from the perceptions of limits of sovereign responsibility and manifesting itself in negative effects from processes in inner polity regions and across the border. The article also discusses possible practical usage of the framework, providing the example of its applicability in transnational environmental governance research.

Abstract:
Статья предлагает обратиться к методологическим основаниям социально-философской футурологии в критическом ключе. Автор указывает, что способы философского мышления о будущем не только распространились в современной культуре, но и колонизировали социальную и культурную теорию. Одержимость футурологией стала ответом на нарастание скорости изменений в обществе и фрагментацию больших нарративов. Социально-философская футурология заняла место философии истории и составила конкуренцию утопическому измерению классических идеологий. В конечном итоге апелляция к будущему становится де факто составной частью любого осмысленного рассуждения о настоящем, всегда подразумеваемым продолжением анализа научных данных. Автор предлагает очертить методологические границы дисциплины, которые бы разграничили еѐ с другими научными и культурными предметностями, тенденция к растворению в которых стала проблемой не только для философии, но и для самих частных наук (экономики, социологии и т. д.). Статья показывает, что в основе строгой социальнофилософской футурологии должны лежать уникальные методы, порождѐнные философской традицией: логический анализ, мысленный эксперимент, перформативная критика риторики, а также оценка этического измерения происходящего. Главными опасностями для дисциплины становятся, с одной стороны, соблазны вольного обращения с эмпирическими данными, а с другой стороны, производство фантастических нарративов. Автор уточняет способы функционирования социальнофилософской футурологии в контексте современной культурной логики капитализма и указывает на наиболее продуктивную для дисциплины стратегию работы с будущим. Ей становится социально-философский анализ логики существующей капиталистической системы. The article makes an attempt to critically analyze the methodological basis of social-philosophical futurology. The author argues that the ways of philosophical thinking about the future became common not only in contemporary culture but also colonized social and cultural theories. The futurology obsession was an answer to the growth of the speed of changes and the fragmentation of the grand narratives. Social-philosophical futurology replaced philosophy of history and competed with utopia dimension of classical ideologies. Eventually the appellation to the future de facto becomes a part of thinking about the present, the always-present continuation of the scientific data analysis. The author proposes to find the limits of its methodological borders, that would distinguish it from other scientific and cultural spheres, in which it tends to dissolve. The latter became not just a problem for philosophy but also for concrete disciplines (economics, sociology etc.). The article shows that in the basis of social-philosophical futurology have to exist unique methods born inside philosophical tradition: logical analysis, thought experiment, performative critique of rhetoric and ethical (value) evaluation of the present. The main risks are, however, temptations to treat empirical data freely and to produce fantastic narratives. Among other things the author specifies the ways of social-philosophical functioning in the borders of contemporary cultural logic of capitalism and points out the most effective strategy to deal with it. The latter is understood as social-philosophical analysis of actually existing capitalist system.

Abstract:
John Stuart Mill's commitment to empirically based inductive logic shapes the political substance of his theory, limiting his ability effectively to make the argument he wishes to make. The Subjection of Women is presented as a test case in which Mill wishes to argue for the justice and utility of the emancipation of women. His efforts are thwarted by his inability to argue from anything but an empirical basis, grounding his evidence in historical data which serve both to stereotype women's “good” qualities and to judge women's potential by what is observable from an admittedly unjust history.The essay reviews respected feminist analyses of Mill with an eye to establishing the natures and limitations of the various perspectives. It briefly discusses Mill's System of Logic which provides a detailed example, in pure form, of the methodological problems he faces in the Subjection. The essay then considers the method and content of The Subjection of Women, arguing that the shortcomings of Mill's political analysis are the result of his efforts to cling to an impossibly “pure” empiricist methodology.

Abstract:
The ideational impact captured by Manners’s notion of normative power Europe (NPE) appears most distinct and potentially most consequential in the realm of regionalism. However, empirical research on the topic has been hampered by the focus on EU actorness and methodological difficulties. Drawing on diffusion theory, this article develops conceptual, theoretical and methodological foundations for conceiving NPE as ideational diffusion. It argues that Europe’s ideational influence on regionalism can be fruitfully understood as the largely indirect process by which the EU experience travels to other regions through socialization and emulation. Yet, as structural conditions vary across regions, EU ideational diffusion rarely leads to similar or even comparable institutional practices and outcomes. A choice-orientated approach is proposed for examining these claims empirically, which focuses on specifying the underlying counterfactual: political decisions in regionalism would have been different in the absence of the EU. The article concludes by outlining the analytical and normative promise of the proposed recasting of Manners’s original concept.

Summary This paper examines both the epistemological and practical limitations and challenges of data collection by reflecting on the experiences of a team of both junior and senior researchers engaged in such a longitudinal study. Findings This paper argues that longitudinal research with street youth challenges the boundaries and limits of the formal constructs of research and ethics that typically guide qualitative research by grappling with field issues such as navigating reciprocity, risk and authenticity within relationships with a vulnerable group. Application This paper calls for an explicit acknowledgement of the challenges researching populations such as street youth over time in our research ethics guidelines and encourages researchers to engage in dialogue leading to more reflective, transparent and accountable framing of how we collect data in the field with vulnerable youth populations.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTThis article looks at two major metaphors used in contemporary ecclesiology, the church as “the People of God” and as “the Bride of Christ,” which have functioned in some of the polarizing debates within the Catholic Church in North America. It then suggests some methodological reasons why reliance upon metaphors in ecclesiology, either through the balancing of different metaphors or the promotion of a dominant metaphor, is inadequate to the task of understanding the church systematically. It then suggests some avenues for future ecclesiological method that may help to understand the church better and so to respond better to contemporary ecclesiological debates.

Abstract:
The effect of digital technologies on religion generally and Christian theology more particular is a topic attracting increasing interest. This article argues that the role of theology is to provide a counter to the tendencies of digitization. Digitization is understood as the division of knowledge into discrete units and valuing this division over models of knowledge that seek to connect and integrate human experiences. The article argues for the need for a postdigital theology that seeks to encounter transcendence in the spaces where human experience exceeds the limits of digitization. Methodologically, the article draws on the interdisciplinary field of postdigital theory. It finds that theology is a work of defracturing or reconnecting forms of human knowledge in weaving together a coherent narrative of human experience that provides hope for relationality in the midst of the destructive tendencies at play in the world. Such defracturing opens a space for an encounter with transcendence, understood in a broad sense that includes encountering the vastness of existence as well as the realm of potentiality from whence liberative hope is fostered. The openness to transcendence that comes from exceeding digitization allows for a theological interpretation of an encounter with the divine within that transcendence. The article then lays a potential framework for such a theological endeavor. This methodological framework is an approach to overcoming the divide between logos and mythos, holding scientific and artistic approaches as equally valid contributions to understanding reality in the production of a religious or theological narrative.

Abstract:
Abstract The Mass Observation Project, established in 1937, documents the lives of ordinary people living in the UK, and explores a wide range of social issues. The Project distributes a set of written questions (“Directives”) to a panel of 500 members of the British public (“Observers”) three times each year; “Observers” respond in writing. From the initial commissioning of a “Directive” to data becoming available for analysis takes between four to six months. This approach offers researchers an opportunity to capture in-depth qualitative data from individuals with a range of demographic backgrounds who live across the UK. As there are no word limits on “Observers’” responses and they remain anonymous, a “Directive” often yields rich, high-quality data. Additionally, compared with alternative methods of collecting large volumes of qualitative data from a heterogeneous population, commissioning a “Directive” is cost-effective in terms of time and resource.

In article the bases of research of a phenomenon of a law concretization are considered. Are analyzed the logical and language maintenance of a law concretization as subject activity of the person. By means of features of category limits of activity of the person on a law concretization are “wrongly” illustrated. Are allocated a law concretization in law-making and its forms (subject and logical) and a law concretization in law application, in particular, is considered a law-enforcement specification in connection with legal qualification. The question of abuse of a law concretization is raised. It is claimed that efficiency of research of the category “law concretization” is predetermined by right understanding, the understanding of a law concretization as transition from uncertainty to definiteness of legal regulation is the most effective unlike integrative right understanding. The inefficiency of integrative approach contacts inclusion in concept of the right of versatile elements.

Abstract The special issue “Empirical Approaches to Salafism: Methodological and Ethical Challenges” addresses urgent methodological and ethical issues in qualitative research on Salafism. The contributing authors discuss these in relation to their fieldwork on Salafi beliefs, practices, life courses and world views. The contributions problematize the limits of the usual academic definitions of Salafism by confronting the conventional categories of quietist, political and jihadist Salafism with first-hand field data. Thereby, the authors show how categorial lines begin to blur and to shift when exposed to the ambiguous and dynamic characteristics that are inherent to virtual and real-life fieldwork with Salafis.

Abstract:
Abstract For over three decades, an Ideological Surround Model (ISM) has pursued theoretical and methodological innovations designed to enhance the ‘truth’ and ‘objectivity’ of research into psychology and religion. The foundational argument of the ISM is that psychology as well as religion unavoidably operates within the limits of an ideological surround. Methodological theism, therefore, needs to supplement the methodological atheism that dominates the contemporary social sciences. Methodological theism should operationalize the meaningfulness of religious traditions and demonstrate empirically that the influences of ideology cannot be ignored. The ISM more generally suggests that contemporary social scientific rationalities need to be supplemented my more complex dialogical rationalities. Beliefs in secularization should also be supplemented by beliefs in trans-rationality.

Abstract:
Research about child abuse and neglect is very complex methodologically and ethically. There are not yet uniform research definitions of the problem and the lack of prospective population-based research limits the ability to make progress. To date researchers have been reluctant to ask children directly about their maltreatment experiences because of perceptions of ethical and legal responsibilities. This article begins with a brief review of existing research about the scope and consequences of child abuse and neglect. We address methodological considerations that are especially pertinent to research about child maltreatment, including the definition of the problem, study design, and issues of causality and bias. We conclude with a discussion of ethical and legal issues that arise in the course of carrying out such research, including issues related to subject recruitment, informed consent, confidentiality, and reporting.

Abstract:
En-gendering security is as much a political exercise as it is a methodological one. An earlier paper ( Ahmed, 1995 ) flagged the limits of positivism in understanding woman’s state of insecurity in a world informed and dictated by masculinity or what could be referred to as the purush jat. The critique was done by taking recourse to dialectics, of a kind that had its roots in the works of Hegel and Marx. However, after two decades, I see the limits of the effort, particularly when it comes to addressing the dialectic of gender relationship and the disempowered status of women in South Asia. This is not because Western dialectical method is at fault (which surely has a tendency of harbouring determinism) or because the utopias put forward by the Hegelians and the Marxists, although qualitatively different in nature, have foundered and transformed into living dystopias, but more because of a serious appreciation of the diversity in dialectics, including the contributions of the Chinese and Indian dialectics over the centuries. Put differently, approaching woman’s state of insecurity from the standpoint of yin-yang relationship and/or prasangika can make a far more meaningful contribution to the task of demystifying masculinity and ensuring women’s rights. En-gendering security in South Asia otherwise requires not only reimagining dialectics in the light of its diversity but also making the methodological quest local, indeed, related to the lived experience of the South Asians.

The methodological context of the innovation model formation on the basis of sustainable development is revealed, taking into account the critical importance of the agricultural sector as a system in which relations are implemented to guarantee national food security. Strategic priorities and ideological guidelines for the implementation of the concept of sustainability in the agricultural sector of the economy in the framework of solving the problem of innovation of the industry with the subsequent increase of its competitiveness are proposed. The aspect of implementation of measures of realization of the purposes of sustainable development within the limits of formation of innovative model of agro-industrial sector is methodologically compared and implemented into the system of scientific discourse.

Abstract:
Review of actual historical medical questions of the formation of clinical transplantology in general and transplantology in pediatrics in particular. A comparative analysis of the development of transplantology in Russia and other countries is given. The ethical dilemmas of organ transplantation (ex vivo and ex mortuo) in pediatrics are discussed. The authors believe decisions about the admissibility of the definitions and criteria of these burning problems to have to be sanctioned beyond the limits of not only medicine, but the whole body of sciences, in the transdisciplinary space in which we all inhabit.

Abstract:
The increased acceptance of the use of structure–activity relationship (SAR) approaches to toxicity modelling has necessitated an evaluation of the limitations of the methodology. In this study, the limit of the capacity of the MULTICASE SAR program to model complex biological and toxicological phenomena was assessed. It was estimated that, provided the data set consists of at least 300 chemicals, divided equally between active and inactive compounds, the program is capable of handling phenomena that are even more “complex” than those modelled up to now (for example, allergic contact dermatitis, Salmonella mutagenicity, biodegradability, inhibition of tubulin polymerisation). However, within the data sets currently used to generate SAR models, there are limits to the complexity that can be handled. This may be the situation with regard to the modelling of systemic toxicity (for example, the LD50).

Abstract:
The main goal of the article is to propose an alternative approach towards the monastery, which relies on overcoming methodological atheism and is rooted in a lived, everyday religion approach. In order to do so, in the first section, I reconstruct Peter Berger’s methodological atheism, discuss its limits, and point to alternative methodological approaches. In the second section I present elements of my sociological study of a female, cloistered monastery, focusing on the dichotomy between obedience and autonomy in nuns’ experiences of life within a cloistered monastery. If understood from a classical perspective, the two traits seem contradictory. My research suggests that some nuns perceive these two characteristics as supplemental rather than contradictory. I propose that using an approach that focuses on lived, everyday religion, rather than an approach focused on religious experience (methodological atheism) allows for a comprehensive interpretation of how monasteries work and how monks and nuns operate in this specific environment. It also allows for the integration of social actors’ understanding of their environment into investigation.

Abstract:
Introduction. The issues of ensuring economic security of regions (especially of those with a specific situation) taking into account the influence of economic complexity are a novel research problem. The development of regions, primarily the border ones, is determined by two divergent processes: growing economic complexity, determined by external constraints or opportunities, and economic security, associated with the internal potential and resources of the region. Based on the study conducted, the article reveals the features of the interconnection between economic security and economic complexity, the latter determining the innovative and technological limitations to the growth and development of territories. Materials and Methods. The author has conducted semantic analysis and thematic clustering of economic security using data from bibliographic and reference databases of publications in English (Web of Science) and in Russian (eLIBRARY.RU). The assessment of economic complexity was based on the conducted analysis of the UN Comtrade foreign trade statistics, that of economic security – on the official data published by Rosstat. Results. The author has identified the terminological connection between economic security and economic complexity, and has provided a theoretical representation of the relations and interdependence of these categories. The paper presents the methodological provisions for studying the economic security of border regions, taking into consideration the possibilities for increasing their economic complexity. Discussion and Conclusion. In the context of systemic constraints in the development of the region, economic security is largely determined by both the available internal potential and resources, and the possibilities of their use. However, the region gains new capabilities with the increase in its economic complexity, the latter also limiting its economic security. In fact, the choice of key areas for the structural transformation of the region’s economy depends on whether priority is given to maintaining the level of economic security or increasing economic complexity. The mechanism and criteria discussed in this paper, as well as the methodological provisions of such a choice, contribute to further development of the theory of economic security and economic complexity at the regional level and are of practical importance for regional governance.

Abstract:
The article discusses the limits of applicability of the idea of falsifiability proposed by K. Popper for the evaluation of scientific theories. The article reviews the original formulations of the principle of falsifiability presented in the works of Popper. Further, the main attention is paid to the problem of the holistic nature of experimental testing of scientific theories posed by P. Duhem. It is claimed that the idea of falsifiability can be considered as a methodological regulative principle. However, this principle seems to be less obligatory than the principle of non-contradiction, the excessive disregard of which will mean the collapse of any research.

Abstract:
The prospects of various interdisciplinary researches, the problem of the unity of scientific knowledge, the possibility of translating methods from one discipline to another, the impact of digitalization on various fields of scientific knowledge, the acceptability of general ap­proaches to science management, in particular, to the evaluation of scientific productivity are debated in the discussion on the limits of methodological convergence of natural-scien­tific and social-humanitarian knowledge. The debaters E.N. Knyazeva, G.L. Tulchinsky, V.G. Kuznetsov and N.M. Smirnova comment on each other’s positions, point out the strengths and weaknesses in proponents’ justification, agree on a number of issues, and indi­cate the main theses and arguments for each position, groping for prospects for further de­velopment of the discussed issues.

Abstract:
The limits of science change primarily as a result of new discoveries. But there can be other reasons, of a conceptual and/or methodological nature. The essence and structure of science can be understood differently, which results in different definitions of its limits. The text discusses some areas in which the limits of science were defined differently. Firstly, on the grounds of logical empiricism, views distant from direct experience, as generalisations and theories, have been excluded from science, narrowing its limits. Secondly, the lack of an unshakable and strictly empirical basis has been found within the limits of science, while previously that basis was thought necessary. Thus, the limits of science were again found narrowed. Thirdly, previously neglected and rather unwanted evaluative elements have been repeatedly discovered at the base of science. It was claimed to sanction them within the limits of science. In that case the latter per se would not change their range, however their concept would have to broaden. Last but not least, for various and not necessarily intentional reasons, the limits of science has become vague.

Abstract:
Linking variation in species' traits to large-scale environmental gradients can lend insight into the evolutionary processes that have shaped functional diversity and future responses to environmental change. Here, we ask how heat and cold tolerance vary as a function of latitude, elevation and climate extremes, using an extensive global dataset of ectotherm and endotherm thermal tolerance limits, while accounting for methodological variation in acclimation temperature, ramping rate and duration of exposure among studies. We show that previously reported relationships between thermal limits and latitude in ectotherms are robust to variation in methods. Heat tolerance of terrestrial ectotherms declined marginally towards higher latitudes and did not vary with elevation, whereas heat tolerance of freshwater and marine ectotherms declined more steeply with latitude. By contrast, cold tolerance limits declined steeply with latitude in marine, intertidal, freshwater and terrestrial ectotherms, and towards higher elevations on land. In all realms, both upper and lower thermal tolerance limits increased with extreme daily temperature, suggesting that different experienced climate extremes across realms explain the patterns, as predicted under the Climate Extremes Hypothesis . Statistically accounting for methodological variation in acclimation temperature, ramping rate and exposure duration improved model fits, and increased slopes with extreme ambient temperature. Our results suggest that fundamentally different patterns of thermal limits found among the earth's realms may be largely explained by differences in episodic thermal extremes among realms, updating global macrophysiological ‘rules’. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Physiological diversity, biodiversity patterns and global climate change: testing key hypotheses involving temperature and oxygen’.

Abstract:
The theory of the monetary circuit aims to provide a highly stylised account of the workings of a modern monetary production economy. While there may have been a time when it succeeded in this aim, that time is over. The key development in the monetary sphere of capitalism over recent decades is the advent of financialisation, a phenomenon that circuit theory cannot explain other than by omitting some of its most important characterising features while indiscriminately dismissing those features that it does address as dysfunctional outgrowths. The fact is that a theory that has the aggregate monetary circuit as its methodological framework and whose sole focus is on the financing needs of firms is simply not flexible enough to accommodate the new reality of financialisation. To make that accommodation what is needed is a framework that is sufficiently elastic as to be able to encompass a broad range of socio-economic factors, most notably those associated with demographic change, as co-drivers of financialisaton. This article argues that a framework based on Marx’s commodity principle meets this requirement.

Abstract:
The way in which financial markets are framed depends on who is doing the framing, although there are reflexive interdependencies between these framings. The underlying argument of the paper is that the way in which financial markets are framed in theory should reflect the different framings in the economy, and that this may benefit from input from other disciplines. Mainstream economics frames financial markets as archetypical competitive markets, focusing on prices as the key information on which to base analysis. This follows from traditional positivist methodology where computability is the key to theory appraisal. Central banks draw on this analysis for their own framing, but modify it significantly in the face of the requirement to take decisions under palpable uncertainty; some understanding is perceived to be necessary for prediction. Increasingly their role is seen as manipulating expectations in order to achieve inflation targets. Participants in financial markets in turn employ quantitative models for forming their expectations; in conditions of market turbulence the limits to these models become evident, and indeed material to prices themselves. Further, for these participants, markets are a social phenomenon. Finally the households whose experience of financial markets enables or constrains spending frame financial markets in yet another way. Understanding of these various framings would benefit from recourse to other disciplines, notably psychology, sociology and rhetoric. But methodological approach is critical for how these inputs can enhance theorising, as exemplified by the difference between the old and new behavioural economics.

Abstract:
Abstract Debates on the relation between theology and religious studies ultimately revolve around epistemological questions: What are the respective limits of religious and academic knowledge and reasoning, and along what boundaries can they meet? This contribution argues that the “reality of religion” is the shared subject matter of these disciplines. For methodological purposes, a distinction is made between two poles: the “transcendent frame” of theology, which defines the reality of religion with reference to transcendence, and the “immanent frame” of religious studies, which defines the reality of religion with reference to the empirical or immanent and in which transcendence is “bracketed.” A qualified methodological agnosticism that considers the bounds of knowledge can further the dialogue between theology and religious studies on the status of transcendence. The theological apophatic method, which departs from a sense of not-knowing and the limits of human knowledge, can serve as a heuristic tool.

Abstract:
Abstract Roberto Frega’s Pragmatism and the Wide View of Democracy reformulates the question of democracy posed by our current historic conjuncture using the resources of a variety of pragmatic thinkers. He brings into the contemporary conversation regarding democracy’s fortunes both classical and somewhat neglected figures in the pragmatic tradition to deal with questions of power, ontology, and politics. In particular, Frega takes a social philosophical starting point and draws out the consequences of this fundamental shift in approach to questions of democratic and political theory. This turn to social philosophy as a theoretically more sufficient conceptual vocabulary, extended in detail by Frega, raises questions regarding the work that a social ontology does in clarifying the role of economic and political approaches to democracy that are worth further exploration. Likewise, the practical proposals for moving beyond methodological nationalism with respect to forming publics for the sake of problem-solving, while providing a clarifying and fresh starting point, are still too beholden to models of agency and expressions of coordinated action that themselves are the very fruit of those systems which undermine democratic power in the first instance.
