“…Our research strategy was based on an image of human action as contextually situated, concernfully engaged, temporal, relational, and agential. Theoretically speaking, our approach was informed by assumptions drawn from the work of Martin Heidegger (1962) and others who have developed his ideas in various ways (e.g., Dreyfus, 1992, 2014; Guignon, 1983, 2002; Wrathall, 2013, 2014). In conjunction with this philosophical background, we employed an explicit theoretical framework informed by the hermeneutic moral realist philosophy of Charles Taylor (1989) and, to a lesser degree, the neo-Aristotelian virtue ethics of Alasdair MacIntyre (1984) (for more details on these ideas in psychology, see Brinkmann, 2011; Stigliano, 1990).…”
