Abstract

I enact the personal epistemology standpoint to illustrate how my ontology and personal experience transformed my knowledge about the war in Eastern Ukraine. Guiding the reader through my visual and bodily interaction with the war zone, I illustrate my perception construction and deconstruction about the object of knowledge – the war – and the knowledge itself. The researcher is placed at the heart of the research. This article stipulates the value of the world-mind monism stance in knowledge production and legitimises the self as a source of knowledge in international relations research.
