double hermeneutic
At the same time, the double hermeneutic implies the task of describing the social world by Sociology in
its own technical concepts. Thus, ā€œthe concepts, theories and findings generated by Sociology ā€˜spiral in
and out’ of social lifeā€ (Giddens, 1987: 32). Or yet, ā€œsociological observers depend upon lay concepts to
generate accurate descriptions of social processes; and agents regularly appropriate theories and concepts
of social science within their behavior, thus potentially changing its characterā€ (Giddens, 1987: 30).
Hence, the author points out that social actors, while appropriating knowledge produced by Sociology,
attribute new meaning to it, and at the same time challenge Sociology to reach for new advances.
