Description
Experience New Foundations for the Human Sciences by Scott Lash is a radical plea for the centrality of experience in the social and human sciences. Lash argues that many assumptions in these fields, particularly those rooted in positivism, have led to a narrow focus on utilitarian actors and detached observation. Instead, Lash advocates for a more grounded approach based on subjective experience and embedded research methods. He explores this idea through a wide-ranging account that spans ancient concepts of technics, Hannah Arendt's public sphere, and contemporary perspectives on technological experience and Chinese post-ontological thought. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars in sociology, cultural studies, and other social sciences, offering a fresh perspective on the role of experience in shaping our understanding of human societies.
