Holism or reductionism, this is the main question in reality

It is a great pleasure to participate in this academic exercise called 'Festskrift'.It is the first time I have accepted such a flattering assignment, which is the reason why I had no idea how this should be done.Inquiries with colleagues and google scholar search all provided pretty much the same answers.Apparently, you are quite flexible in what you want to write about and how you want to do it.However, think especially about including as much praise for the honoree and her work as possible!This advice is not difficult to follow since I am very impressed with what Hanne has delivered over the years, and much of that material also has meant quite a lot for my own development.Another suggestion was not to give away the best of your ideas as a 'Festschrift' is not the place where you can get most 'credit for your effort'.This advice, perhaps followed by some, who simply reuse some old desk material, sounds terrible.Although recycling might be a good thing from an environmental perspective within some domains of life, academic writing should not be one of them.Therefore, what follows is a hundred percent newly written text, thus no recycle, where I will present some examples of my own experiences and areas of use of the Pragmatic Constructivist (PC)-framework, thus give a sort of selective, historical overview.By doing so, I try to connect to today's discourse within the PC-network, where language games take up quite some space.This is in line with another piece of advice for the content of a 'Festskrift', which was to find problems in the work of the honoree's body of scholarship.Of course, only small problems since honorees are almost perfect researchers and do not miss out much, but problems on which the honoree, and her network, could work on in the future.This is important advice, which I will follow, as nobody wants Hanne to be sitting around twiddling her thumbs, and have the world miss out on her brilliance.And neither should the PC-network do that!Before I start, however, I must inject a note of caution.The below is an unusually personal text, with all pros and cons, that I will 'fire away'.Thus, there is no risk that my contribution here is the outcome of a masterpiece of a scientific process or empirical investigation as the text primarily includes my own reflections and ideas that are addressed to a highly respected researcher, Hanne, and her/our much-appreciated network.Hanne has a special ability to shine through text and people, which makes me feel and hope, that these reflections and ideas not just end up in the empty space, on a hidden data server, or in a wastebasket.So, let's rock!
