本书有三个主要目标：为一些重要的哲学问题制定一种新的方法，这些问题多年来一直困扰着科学界和其他学术界的理论家;为干预（干预是一个代理人有目的的行动，以创造变化）产生一种与这一哲学相一致的方法论1;并从我自己的实践中提供例子，说明如何将方法论转化为行动。这些目标中的每一个都可以单独写一本书来追求，但是我把它们放在一起，尽管有过度夸大每个论点的风险，因为我认为它们从根本上是相互联系的。这三个目标加在一起，为我们提供了一个巨大的研究议程，需要比我一生都要多的时间来充分探索。因此，我请你们与我同行，如果你们认为这一议程有意义，让我们看看它会导致什么。
This book has three major aims: to formulate a new approach to some vital philosophical issues that have bedevilled theoreticians in scientific and other academic communities for many years; to generate a methodology1for intervention (intervention being purposeful action by an agent to create change) that is consistent with this philosophy; and to provide examples from my own practice to illustrate how the methodology can be translated into action. Each one of these aims could have taken a book on its own to pursue, but I have brought them together, despite the risk of over-abbreviating each argument, because I see them as fundamentally interlinked. Together, these three aims present us with an enormous research agenda which will take more than my own lifetime to explore to the full. I therefore invite you to walk with me and, if you find this agenda meaningful, let us see where it leads.
