The Political Logic of Experience argues that experience and
phenomenology are essentially political, with profound implications
for our understanding of subjectivity, epistemology, experience,
the phenomenological method, and politics. Drawing on work from
across the phenomenological tradition, it develops an account of
expression as the internal relationship uniting knowing, being, and
doing with both transcendental conditions and empirical phenomena.
This expressive unification generates subjectivity as an expression
of particular communities and subjects as an expression of
subjectivity. Subjectivity and experience are therefore both
revealed to be inherently political prior to their expression in
particular subjects. In clarifying the political nature of
experience and the constitution of subjectivity, the book puts the
work of critical phenomenology in dialogue with transcendental
phenomenology to reveal the need for a phenomenological politics: a
field tasked with explaining the expressive, co-constitutive, and
necessarily political relationships between subjects and their
communities. It is only through such a phenomenological politics
that we can properly make sense of the epistemological,
ontological, and practical significance of issues like racism and
sexism, problems that concern our very experience of the world. The
book reveals phenomenology to be both essentially political and
politically essential, as it emerges within particular communities
and shapes and transforms how individuals within those communities
experience the world. Touching on issues of transcendental
phenomenology, political strategy, historical interpretation and
inter-disciplinary phenomenological method, the book argues for
foundational claims pertaining to phenomenology, politics, and
social criticism that will be of interest to those working in
philosophy, gender studies, race, queer theory, transcendental and
applied phenomenology, and beyond.
