| Summary: | Reflection has become the major methodological requirement in social science. The procedure of reflection is considered to be unproblematic and self-evident. Such approach contains internal contradiction and pays no attention to the specific experience of reflection and objectivation. The paper analyzes Pierre Bourdieu’s conception of reflexive sociology and grounds the idea of reflexive sociology in specific experience of being between reality and unreality. The paper suggests describing this experience in terms of Jean Piaget’s theory of decentration. Reflexive experience is formed by the intention of accommodation, which is always perceived retrospectively as assimilation. This conflict, which is characteristic for the structure of reflexive experience, generates essential internal tension of the reflexive procedure.
