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 — 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.
