Dear members of the SIG Philosophy

Paul Ricoeur, the philosopher who contributed so
much to interpretation theory, hermeneutics, died
last Friday

He taught at the University of Chicago from 1970
to 1985, after being the Dean of Nanterre
University, Paris

His masterpiece, ‘Time and Narrative’ (1983),
questions History and Human Sciences, though the
philosophical discipline of hermeneutics, or
theory of interpretation. This philosophy is the
basis of interpretivism in Information Systems
(Boland, 1991, Klein and Myers 1999), but also of
Interpretive Archaeology (Tilley, 1993, Thomas,
2000)

His influence in Information Systems, after the
inaugural paper of Dick Boland at the IFIP
working Group 8.2 Conference, was developed by
the MISQ Best Paper Award of Klein and Myers.
This paper allowed so many interpretivist papers
to be published and so many PhD student to dare
undertaking interpretive research in IS, even in
Paris University: thanks Heinz and Michael!

One of the specialists of Ricoeur, Michael Myers,
is responsible for the wonderful ISworld page on
qualitative research, where he presents
interpretivism:

For hermeneutics, for ever !
