Werner Ulrich
Ancien professeur titulaire, Faculty of Arts & Humanities, University of Fribourg, Switzerland
My main current interest is in the philosophical and methodological issues of applied science and expertise, with special regard for reflective practice. In the past I have contributed to this topic through my work on "critical systems heuristics" (CSH) and its methodological core principle, "boundary critique." At present I am particularly interested in combining the methodological core principles of critical social theory, discourse ethics, pragmatist philosophy, and CSH within a "philosophy for professionals." My current research program on "critical pragmatism" explores the ways these sources of critical thought can contribute to competent and responsible research and professional practice in a living civil society.
