Human Inquiry for Living Systems

Building in Research and Evaluation for Life

About this book

If we don't have the kinds of health and human services or even the kinds of lives, communities and organisations we want, then we need to think differently. Yoland Wadsworth offers an inspired insight and radically new proposition: that the act of our 'inquiring', of researching and evaluating together, is the way by which every living organism and all collective human life goes about continuously achieving the conditions for life.

Human Inquiry for Living Systems: Building in Research and Evaluation for Life explores this new approach for bringing about both wanted change and stability. By inquiring around 'full cycles' of acting, observing, questioning, feeling, reflecting, thinking, planning and acting again, Yoland identifies how new life might be brought to what we do.

All three of Yoland Wadsworth's best-selling books have been brought together in this Routledge trilogy to offer for the first time a coherent body of work addressing the pressing needs of people to 'inquire their way' to the future.
