Philippe Corcuff, The Sociologist and the Actors : Epistemology, Ethics and new forms of Commitment Are social sciences presently liable to provide academics and social scientists with a basis to renew their civil commitment, inside as well as outside the autonomous framework of their skills, with a broader social, political and ethical concern ? The categories of commitment and distanciation (Norbert Elias) and a dialectization of the ideal-typical patterns of the historically tested relationship to commitment are the starting point of this reflexion. It leads to the concept of a moving reflexivity as a means to increase the accuracy of social sciences, as well as to a shift in the relationship to the social actors which should no longer be external or from above.
