The radical humanist view in accounting

Abstract

The shift in the accounting paradigm is marked by accounting users who were originally only understood as a tool to report historical financial transactions, then turned into a science that has scientific provisions. This study aims to analyze one's thinking about multi-paradigm accounting research and the process of spreading it in the radical humanist paradigm. The method used in this research is literature review, by collecting literature related to radical humanist from journals, books, and previous studies. The results of this study indicate that radical humanists believe that everything must be grasped as a whole, because the whole dominates the parts in a comprehensive sense. Radical humanists' focus on the "superstructural" aspects of society reflects their attempt to emphasize Hegelian dialectics.
