Experience
Polity Press (Verlag)
978-0-7456-9514-3 (ISBN)
Lash argues for a social sciences based not in positivism’s utilitarian a priori but instead in the a posteriori of grounded and embedded subjective experience. His wide-ranging account starts from considerations of ancient experience via Aristotle’s technics, continues through a politics of Hannah Arendt’s ‘a posteriori’ public sphere and concludes with the contemporary – with technological experience, on the one hand, and with Chinese post-ontological thought, in which the ‘ten thousand things’ themselves are doing the experiencing, on the other.
This original book by a leading social and cultural theorist will be of great interest to students and scholars in sociology, cultural studies and throughout the social sciences.
Scott Lash is Professor of Journalism and Communications at the Chinese University of Hong Kong and Senior Research Fellow at the Centre on Migration, Policy and Society at the University of Oxford.
