This book introduces transpositional subjectobjectivity-a radical framework that transcends the subject-object dualism that has long constrained social scientific inquiry. Tracing debates over objectivity in social sciences from Max Weber through Michel Foucault to Amartya Sen's positional objectivity, this book offers a crucial intervention in the field, recognizing how perspective shapes observation. Moving beyond binary thinking, the chapters rethink the philosophy of science itself, exploring how subjectivity and objectivity interweave rather than oppose. Through transdisciplinary analysis drawing on philosophy, sociology, spirituality, and the arts, the book traces transpositional thinking from Plato to contemporary practice. It examines how religion, philosophy, and art have navigated the shifting contours of subjectobjectivity, offering new methodological possibilities for researchers. Essential reading for scholars and researchers of philosophy and the social sciences in general, this pioneering work cultivates innovative modes of understanding and engagement for twenty-first-century social science and humanities.
