Secular discernment: A process of individual unlearning and collective relearning
通过对一个非宗教组织的行动研究，本文提出世俗辨别过程的特点，认为辨别是个体忘却与集体再学习相互交织的过程，有助于理解组织中的知识更新与行为规范。
Through a process of action research with a non-religious organization, this article provides a foundation for the characteristics of a secular discernment process. Importantly, we argue that discernment can be conceptualized as a process of entwined individual unlearning and collective relearning. Our action research study contributes to both the discernment and the unlearning literatures by unpacking how discernment encourages a process of individual unlearning – which our study suggests entails a process of ‘setting aside’ and reflexive-distancing from a priori individual knowledge – to be more open and receptive to new ways of emergent collective re-learning. The process of unlearning – and the behavioural norms and routines that are central to discernment – underscores the collective relearning process. The article concludes with future pathways for research.
