Description
Summary:One of a set of papers (published in this journal issue [see abstracts in SA 43:2]) presented at a 1992 symposium honoring the work of Eugene Gendlin, focusing on the role of experience in Gendlin's phenomenology. In particular, three aspects of his work are explored: (1) his contribution to ethnomethodology, (2) the therapeutic experience, & (3) the critique of Jacques Derrida. Gendlin's focus on meaning as a fact that can be experienced shaped the early agenda of ethnomethodology to a substantial degree. In relation to therapy, he departs from the analysis of verbal content & redirects his emphasis toward practices. Finally, although sharing with him a phenomenological perspective, Gendlin finds Derrida's imagination limited to conceptual distinctions. 8 References. R. Jaramillo
