Reflections on ‘Two Concepts of Rules’

Northeastern University, USA, pet.manning{at}neu.edu

Biographical materials are used to describe the influences of John Rawls’ paper ‘Two Concepts of Rules’ (1955) on my sociological work. The topics of my concern — the phenomenology of the interview, language games and their organizational context; police practices and information technologies as well as qualitative methods — were directly and indirectly shaped by reading the paper early in my career. While my work remains organizational, the importance of context on meaning and the resultant practices are the background that drives my research.

Key Words: constitutive and summary rules • game • interviewing • phenomenology • policing practices • rules
