Abstract
This paper explores the shared ontological basis of the paradox and practices perspectives. Advancing the emerging ‘practice turn’ in paradox, we outline the practice-theoretical approach to studying paradox, articulating four main principles that define its research agenda. We describe each theoretical principle, explain its implications for the way we understand and study paradox, and illustrate it with an example of existing work. Next, we use these principles to reflect on the potential of a practice-based view of paradox, highlighting avenues for future research. Herein we review, integrate and develop a foundation for practice-based studies of paradox.
