Abstract

This work questions the idea that we can 'know' aspects of human behaviour, without this knowledge affecting that same behaviour. The answers to this question have far reaching implications for both the study of the Social Sciences and the ethical considerations we should be cognisant of when we attempt to advance the discipline.
