This paper aims to show how a teleological model of reality and knowledge can be of aid in order to understand the connection between objective knowledge and subjective experience. The separation between them seems indeed to have been established by an opposite deterministic ontological and epistemological model within modern philosophy, which does not allow to explain the subjective relevance of objective knowledge and the objective relevance of subjective experience. In order to overcome this aporetic dichotomy, the paper will underline the actuality of the Aristotelian teleological conception of knowledge and experience and its heritage especially in contemporary philosophy.

In the present study, the author focuses on the phenomenon of involuntary memory, as treated, most famously, in Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time. He, nonetheless, attempts to trace a "pre-history" of the notion in question by making reference to one particular passage to Rousseau's Confessions that perhaps does not name the phenomenon of involuntary memory in an explicit manner, but certainly does treat a concrete experience that seems strongly reminiscent of Proust's later and more sophisticated analyses. In the second part of the paper, he attempts to show that literature is not the exclusive domain in which involuntary memory becomes a crucial topic. He presents a "musical" analogy of involuntary memory by comparing Proust's writing to the Wagnerian notion of leitmotif. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims at discussing Husserl's perspective on conceptual identification of the essence of both material and ideal objects. Our starting assumption is that perceptive synthesis provides a foundation for logical synthesis that allows identifying an object, according to phenomenological approach. By analysing a few chosen texts from Ding und Raum, Ideen I and Erfahrung und Urteil, we shall study the distinctions between morphological and exact essences. This will allow for the grasping of the specific character regarding typological concepts. This very clarification is the source of possibility for the phenomenology itself as a descriptive theory on the essence of pure acts (Erlebnisse). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Yang Hyunah’s paper is both a committed feminist paper and a cautious and moderate text: while the author explicitly seeks to criticize a conservative court decision, she abides by academic writing norms and established values, which would be shattered in the case of extension of legal access to abortion, according to its opponents, seems to avoid any disruptive argument. This is probably one of the reasons why her study rests on a peculiar method, with a strong focus on the individual and psychological side of the issue. Even though such a difficult research cannot encompass all the integral issues of abortion, the paper sheds light on a series of interesting facts. In a comparative perspective, it reveals experiences and representations (notably regarding law consciousness), that prove to be strikingly similar to better-known historical cases.

The purpose of this paper is to show that the notion of landscape is a phenomenological typical object and a perfect meeting point of different fields of study, and, in particular, a distinctive topic for a dialogue between phenomenology and human sciences. Starting from an analysis of a text of Erwin Straus, we attempt to support the view that into all kinds of landscape--sensory, perceptual, geographical, pictorial or built--we can read various ways of living, dwelling or being in the world, or in other words we can read into them some forms of the original experience. This means that within all landscapes, as embedded in these forms of experience, we can read various ways of living, dwelling or being in the world. So we believe it is possible to constitute and to think a unitary sense of landscape from a phenomenological interpretation of space and human behaviour. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper reflects on experiences of what i call vitality. Such experiences are neither idiosyncratic (they overlap major themes in Chinese philosophy, among other disciplines) nor mere romanticism (contemporary psychology lends credence to these accounts). Moreover, while some figures in continental philosophy do address the body—as perceiving, as sexed, as political—there has been almost no attention given to the active body of vitality. Drawing from the work of Michel Serres, this paper will uncover some of the significant features of such bodily experiences.

This paper is dedicated to an experiential approach to teaching/learning foreign languages, associated with various artistic practices (painting/drawing, dance, singing, poetry), created under the influence of John Dewey’s theory of “art as experience” (1934/2014). Before talking about an experiential approach, it is important to clarify the concept of experience as Dewey defined it: “the interaction of live creature and environing conditions (that) is involved in the very process of living” (1934/2014: 80). He distinguished experience (qualified by distraction, dispersion, usually stopped before attaining its aim) from an experience (characterized by fulfillment and harmony). An experience can result from activities of many kinds but is most spontaneously achieved in the field of arts. Dewey explains this fact by the simultaneity of perception and action, which is typical both for artistic processes and the process he calls an experience. It is commonly admitted that being in contact with arts (as a listener, reader, etc.) implies perceptive behavior and being producing artwork involves an active position. By contrast with that widespread view, Dewey notes the necessary co-presence of perception and action in both cases. Being an artist and being in contact with art require co-creation, which is a deeply empathetic attitude: - the person who is going through an esthetic experience enters into empathy with the author or the characters of the artwork he/she is exploring; - while creating, the artist empathizes with “an indispensable partner” that is always present “even when the artist works in solitude”. Given those considerations, it is not surprising to find that empathy and art share a common definition: “art is a mode of knowledge” (Dewey, 1934/2014 : 465) / “empathy is a mode of knowledge” (Pacherie, 2004 : 150). Art and empathy as cognitive (and not only affective) tools seem appropriate to be chosen as the basis of a learning process that aims to lead pupils to a meaningful holistic experience. However, one may ask what link can be found between art/empathy and languages. Each new language is learned through the already mastered modes of expression. Art that is, according to Dewey, “the most universal and freest form of communication” (Ibid. : 440) is confined in museums in the adult world but is a part of children’s everyday life : they use artistic languages (fictional narration, drawing, singing, etc.) as naturally as they speak the verbal language in order to communicate. This is the reason that made me try to use artistic languages as media to foreign language learning. In my research, I have shown, over the last years, the positive impact of such an approach on the development of pupils’ linguistic abilities (pronunciation, memorization of vocabulary and grammatical structures). As for this paper, it focuses on transversal empathy skills. How and to what extent do pupils develop them when language learning is accompanied by artistic practices? In order to answer this question, I conducted a one-year experimental project within a class of 26 7-8-year-old pupils, in a primary school, near Paris. The project comprised four stages of gestural/danced, pictorial, verbal (in French and English) creative activities around: - Sonia Delaunay’s paintings; - The Pied Piper of Hamelin (German legend); - The Magic Paintbrush (Chinese fairy-tale); - William Blake’s poem The Tyger. The fourth stage was conducted in cooperation with Mobilis Immobilis dance company and concluded with a performance produced by the class under the guidance of the artists. At the end of the year, all the pupils were interviewed following the method of explicitation interview (Vermersch, 2010) adapted to the interviewees’ age as well as to the specificities of the school context. Each child was invited to draw his/her “art-language” school year and then to talk about it, explaining the drawing as a start. During the interview, each participant expressed him/herself, listened to other participants within the group, and interacted with them. The analysis of those interactions, based on the theoretical background provided by A. Berthoz (neuropsychology), J. Decety (developmental and affective neuroscience), N. Depraz and E. Pacherie (philosophy) made it possible to identify various types and degrees of empathy shown by children towards fictional characters, other pupils and dancers who worked with the class during the last stage of the project. The most frequent empathetic attitude found in the analyzed interactions is directed towards fictional characters. It is not surprising, since children of this age need to be guided by fiction, for example by fairy-tales (Bettelheim, 1976), that provide them with symbolic answers to problems they encounter on their way towards building identity and social relationships. While having empathic feeling towards a fictional other is natural for a child, empathizing with a real other requires maturity and an adequate emotional environment, if we mean by empathy “an affective response to an other person, that implies (but not always) sharing this person’s emotional state; a cognitive ability to take this person’s subjective perspective” (Decety, 2004 : 57), “distinction between the self and the other in parallel with a possible affective sharing” (Ibid.: 54). Berthoz (2004 : 254) refers to Piaget’s theory according to which, before the age of 7-8, “the child is a prisoner of his/her mental schemas, feeling like a person shut in a labyrinth with the only path leading to the only exit, the only possible point of view (…) on the world”. However, from the age of 7-8, the child starts transforming this egocentric position into a more allocentric one, the quality and speed of this change depending on many factors, education being one of them. The analysis of the interviews allows to consider the implemented pedagogic approach as contributing to the children’ decentering. The detailed interpretation of the selected interview excerpts corresponding to various types and degrees of empathetic attitudes shows that, unlike the adults for whom the “mental simulation” (Berthoz, Jorland, 2004) of someone else’s subjectivity is sufficient to access an empathetic state, the child, most of the time, needs to go through a physical simulation which is made possible and sensible thanks to artistic practices integrated into the project. Empathy results from “a similarity of experience, a community of culture” (Decety, 2004 : 58). The project provided a framework for such an experience, common (belonging to the whole class) and, at the same time, singular (conducted, perceived, understood in an individual manner by everyone). Throughout the creative process that unified pupils, everyone could become immersed in the subjective world of the others, then go back to his/her singularity enriched, stimulated by the encounter, in a cyclic harmonious way.

Does Ricœur's approach of language enter in contradiction with Husserl's phenomenological legacy? In response to Claude Romano's criticisms of the hermeneutical approach of language sustained by Ricœur, this paper intends to shed light on the complex connections between Husserl and Ricoeur on the relations between language and experience. It aims to show, against what Romano suggests, that Ricœur's thinking never leads to a linguistic idealism, but follows eff ectively a phenomenological exigency through his hermeneutical project.

This paper addresses the book Viagens em Marrocos by Ruy da Câmara, published in 1879. Less a travel diary than the draft of an essay on Morocco from a personal experience and a diversity of sources, this book is the oldest in Portugal on this topic and it is very little known. The general appreciation of the territory, its culture and its inhabitants is largely negative, because of a Eurocentric approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Lotze's influence on the development of the XIXth and XXth century philosophy and psychology remains largely neglected still today. In this paper, I examine some Lotzean elements in Husserl's early conception of intentionality, and more specifically in his rejection of the Brentanian concept of intentionality. I argue that Husserl and Lotze, pace Brentano, share a qualitative conception of experiences, what they both call the Zumutesein of experiences. Furthermore, I discuss other issues upon which Husserl and Lotze share common intuitions: the perception of space, the theory of local signs, the realisations of thinking (Leistungen des Denkens) and phenomenology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The dramatic play sets a challenge to Husserl's theory of imagination and its connection to perceptive experience. What takes place on stage in front of the audience is both the effective reality and the happening of a fictional story. In this paper, we are interested in the extension of the phenomenology of experience to a world of mere fictions. By analyzing a few chosen texts from the volume XXIII of Husserliana, we shall put the eidetics of imagination to the test of the dramatic experience of the audience and raise the problem of the actor's play and its paradox. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Description or Imagination? The Meaning of Living and its Phenomenological Modification. Does the object of the phenomenological description exist independently or is it produced by it? Are we allowed to lean on a field of phenomena ingeniously discovered by the description, and never modified by its operation? Or should we rather speak about a field that appears progressively with each descriptive act and continuously strengthened by it? The paper answers these questions by confronting the neutrality of the description with the neutrality of the imagination, and by exploring the meaning of the experience that they bring to light. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

That our relationship with art, both in the museum and in society, is currently undergoing radical transformation; that Art History in particular is destined to be revolutionized by the digital; and that the brand-new Digital Art History is poised to tell us and show us something other than what we have been able to see and know up until now: this can now seem seductively evident. This is then the starting point for the paper, which at the same time aims to return to some preliminary questions : What, on the one hand, is it to see and explain a painting better, and how do we go about it [§1]? How, on the other hand, can research linked to the digitization of images—coming well after the one on languages and texts processing—help us to enhance and sharpen our gaze [§2]? These are the issues addressed here in a frontal and critical manner. The article finds its initial impetus in a certain conception of what experiencing & explaining the picture means, in its fundamental knotting. It is argued that the enterprise of knowledge cannot be cut off from it: hence, by contrast, the gnoseological limits inherent in automatic processing, based on the scanning of large corpora. At the same time, certain key principles of analysis in Art History, Aesthetic theory and Visual Semiotics are reviewed and discussed: motifs (in a critical conception of traditional iconography), diagrams (in close relation to the notion of figurality), and the interweaving of the visual and the verbal (an essential and delicate issue in our relationship to the work of art, which Digital Humanities must by no means sidestep) [§3]. In the light of this assessment, the article proposes a series of original digital devices capable of better tying together, and enhancing, the experience and explanation of the painting [§4]. Drawing on some case studies of Gustave Courbet’s paintings, the aim is to combine the phenomenological demands of a singular encounter with each painting with those of an invention of semiotic value that is fundamentally linked to an active edition & montage of the artworks themselves. In short, we want to show the positive paths to a renewal in which machines could be an essential adjuvant, provided we do not stick to the research directions and to the intervention modalities we have seen celebrated and programmed to date.

The paper examines the relation between presentism and the experience of the present moment. Some presentists believe that our experience of the present moment is in correspondence with the presentistic theory of the present moment. This link between our experience and presentism seems to be one of the main motivational factors for adopting presentism as a correct theory about the nature of time. The paper points to two problems with this line of reasoning. First, the direct incorporation of the experienced present leads to a theoretical inconsistency within presentism. Second, the incorporation of the theoretical present, which is consistent with presentism leads to a conflict with the belief that presentism is in correspondence with our experience of the present moment.

The social memory phenomenon causes debates nowadays, puts in opposition methodological schools, generates a series of incompatible theoretical positions. Proof that the concept of “social memory” “lived” its first age are the numerous research which regards the phenomenon, studies which led either to new theories of social memory (the theory of the organization of memory according to culture and interests is one of the acknowledged theories from which it starts in the development of the subject), or they certified the ones established until then. The present paper proposes as its objective to evaluate the factors which led to the readjustment of the social memory of the Romanian people after the events from 1989. I consider that the social memory can be organized under the influence of factors which acts unitary. As a result, I will analyze the connection between the political factor (decision – maker agents that can influence some contents of the collective memory) and the social one (the public opinion of the group that undergoes major alterations regarding the contents of memory). I initiated the investigation approach from the observation that certain contents of the social memory resignify themselves through the direct influence of the social group, the power structure having the role of putting into practice the community’s “desire”. The necessity of a unitary co-operation between the community and the decision factor for the achievement of a new mnezic construction is imperative. For that purpose, I will analyze the effects of the non-unitary actions of these factors against the social memory, being known that not always the decision factor and the social factor (the community) have the same attitudes towards certain mnesic contents. One can observe certain patterns concerning the organization of social memory in relation to these two factors, being analyzed the intentionality (what the two parts desire) and the purpose (the way in which a certain content “imprints” itself into the collective memory). The differences between the decision of the political factor to impose a certain content of the memory and the public opinions/attitudes concerning that particular content are produced more often than not, by different interests, which generates conflicts. In the present paper I will assess the function of the interests’ conflicts in the organization of the social memory.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the announcement of a renal fetal disease, this announcement activity being located at the joint between the accompaniment experience of doctors and the " families medical working" (Waissman, 1995). Following an investigation conducted around semistructured interviews with doctors (32) and couples (30), our results show that resources combining care actions or activities and educational actions or activities reduce the feeling of threat for the patients, and also for the couples during the announcement process. Through the analysis of therapeutic education systems and parental meetings, we discuss not only the need to take into account the changes in the social role of the couple in family parent-caregiver but also the interest of including a collective approach in the announcement accompaniment process.

In this paper I trace an important conceptual shift which emerged during my fieldwork with fishermen in the South West of Ireland. I begin by describing how my role as a social researcher was interpreted as a valuable ‘bridge’ between different (epistemological) positions, namely the fishermen and scientists. This approach rests on the belief that individual actors occupy discrete subject-positions capable of being articulated and understood within consensus-making processes. Going to sea marked, for me, a literal and metaphorical departure from this understanding. Rather than thinking of fishermen as bounded, individual subjects acting on and in a ‘dumb’ external world, and thus having a ‘position’ from which to make themselves understood, I began to attend to experiences which extended across and between people, places and things. In part two I analyze how the concept of ‘continuous experience’ helps us to think about experience as relational and contingent, unsettling the (governing) call to identify one’s position. Attending to the ways in which experience unfolds through the immediate mattering of relations between people, places and things also allows us to move beyond explanatory modes which seek to identify how subjects are produced through particular structuring relations. In the final part of the paper I describe how the excess of sociability can suspend normal roles and relations, including those which exist between ‘researcher’ and ‘subject’.

Neste artigo, analiso as relações entre as noções de produção, propriedade intelectual e cultura. Partindo das articulações entre inventor e invenção, mostro quais caminhos problematizam a categoria da propriedade intelectual, sublinhando dualidades do pensamento ocidental. Assinalo três tensões para tratamento da propriedade intelectual pela antropologia, especialmente entre cultura material e bens intangíveis; continuidades e rupturas entre propriedade intelectual e cultural; e a dissolução da multiplicidade na ditocomia "público versus privado". Para reflexão, apresento um caso etnográfico a partir da convivência com pequenos agricultores agroecologistas do oeste catarinense e discuto suas experiências coletivas associadas a um conjunto de problemas que a agricultura "moderna" os faz enfrentar. Exploro a gramática que opera em suas vidas e que possui conexões com os regimes de propriedade intelectual. A proposição é mostrar que estes são alguns dos emblemas do modo pelo qual o capitalismo renova e (des)constitui a experiência.In this paper, I analyze links between the notions of production, intellectual property and culture. Starting at the articulations among inventor and invention, I show some problems about the category of intellectual property, highlighting dualities of the Western thought. I emphasize three tensions for analyzing intellectual property issues in anthropology, especially between material culture and intangible goods; continuities and ruptures on intellectual and cultural property; and the dissolution of multiplicity in the "public vs. private" dichotomy. An ethnographic case-study is presented, carried out within organic smallholders from the West of Santa Catarina, Brazil. In this case, I discuss their collective experiences associated to a set of problems they face while dealing with "modern" agriculture. The paper explores the grammar which operates in their lives and has connections to the intellectual property regimes. The intention is to show that those are some emblems in the way capitalism renew and (de)constitute experience.

This article represents an analysis of the experience of Romania in accession and integration of the state into the European Union. It is a tentative to identify Romanian domestic policies of European integration. In order to achieve this objective, the study is focused on analyzing the evolution of Romania accession negotiations, internal and external activities and problems of country’s European integration. Another important goal of the article was to identify some important conclusions for the European roadmap of the Republic of Moldova under the experience of Romania. The main lesson for the Republic of Moldova presented by the author is that for a successful European integration of the Republic of Moldova it is essential to prepare the country from inside by formulating and providing in practice concrete tasks and mechanisms in the internal policies of the country.

The paper examines the potential influence of Wilhelm Dilthey on the works and thought of the Peruvian writer and ethnologist José María Arguedas. In 1953 Arguedas opened his ethnological article “Mountains in the Process of Peruvian Culture” with a quote from Dilthey’s book of essays Experience and Poetry (1910). Despite the fact that the two authors are distant in space and time, their hermeneutic approach and, above all, their faith in art as the highest possible form of knowledge, brings their reflections together. Dilthey’s triad experience — expression — understanding, which forms the core of the chosen quote, expresses the essence of art and its value: beauty, honest judgment, an authentic descent into the depth of linguistic expression and cultural identity. The three concepts also summarize Arguedas’s lifelong efforts to use art to make the underestimated Quechua and mestizo cultures a legitimate part of modern Peru and art in general.

O artigo examina a abordagem feita por Walter Benjamin da concepção de modernidade apresentada pelo poeta e crítico de arte Charles Baudelaire. Após o exame da ideia de beleza moderna nos textos de crítica de Baudelaire, são abordados os motivos da preferência de Benjamin pela apresentação da modernidade na poesia de Baudelaire, particularmente no poema alegórico "Le cygne". Por fim, o texto enfoca a relação entre a poesia moderna de Baudelaire e a concepção de experiência de Benjamin.The paper investigates the approach made by Walter Benjamin of Charles Baudelaire's conception of modernity. After examining the idea of modern beauty in Baudelaire's critical texts, the reasons of Benjamin's preference for the presentation of modernity in Baudelaire's poetry are analized, particularly, in the allegorical poem "Le cygne". At last, the paper focuses on the relation between Baudelaire's modern poetry and Benjamin's concept of experience.

Simulation-based training is becoming a dominant model in healthcare education. The aim of this paper is to discuss the traditional theoretical frameworks used in simulation-based training and the activity analysis principles which guided our research. This paper is based on two types of intervention that were conducted in the simulation centre at Geneva University hospital (SimulHUG): the first related to research conducted among anaesthetist nurses engaged in a vocational training program using full-scale simulation sessions. The second related to a working group which involved trainers who used simulation based-training, and researchers. These working groups were initiated to draw links between the debriefing, as currently practised in the institution, and the principles of activity analysis. We believe that the issues raised by the trainers with whom we have worked can enlighten and nourish discussion on the use of activity analysis for vocational training. We present four main issues raised by the trainers: a) confidentiality; b) how to capture the activity of the trainees, c) the use of video and d) how to speak about marginal or non-prescribed practices that can appear during the debriefing.

Recent years have been marked by large-scale social social’s movement (France, Ukraine, Belarus, Algeria, Chile, Hong Kong, Colombia, the United States, Lebanon, etc.). Although these movements refer to specific situations and political issues, there are shared experiences and concordant narratives between them. These movements are also unique in that they claim to go beyond the usual methods of intervention in the political field. Instead of traditional union or political practices, they prefer more direct modes of intervention (occupation, blocking, fist-fighting, riots, etc.), without spokespersons, without hierarchy, organized in a flexible and "horizontal" way thanks to digital devices, and without any openness to possible negotiations or compromises with the authorities. In short, these movements seem to prefigure a crisis of democratic habits, in particular of the politics of composition that makes dialogue the essential principle of conflict resolution. This paper proposes to reflect on the dynamics of these social upheavals by paying particular attention to the sensitive experience that the actors have of them. The power of attraction of the overflowing of the usual political scenes would translate a clashing passion for the world whose more general political meaning should be questioned.

This paper aims to show that Wallace Stevens’ “unofficial view of being” does not simply convey a sense of the world as it is in the perfect coincidence of imagination and reality. After exploring the connection between Heideggerian ontology and Stevens’ poetry “in times of need”, this paper examines the originating function of Stevens’ poems in light of Agamben’s theorization of deixis and voice, and of the specific role assigned to the syllable. Following Lacoue-Labarthe, I conclude with a discussion of Stevens’ poetry as experience concomittant with the withdrawal of being.

Résumé Cet article revient sur le parcours d’Eva Feder Kittay et s’attarde, en particulier, sur le rôle qu’a joué dans sa réflexion philosophique son expérience de mère d’une enfant atteinte d’un handicap mental sévère. Tant la critique par Kittay des théories standards de la justice, que sa redéfinition de la personnalité morale ou sa réflexion plus récente sur les rapports entre normalité et vie bonne trouvent leur source dans cette expérience, dont la prise en compte permet en retour à Kittay d’apercevoir des problèmes et de poser des questions qui demeurent absentes de la philosophie morale et politique traditionnelle. Le travail de Kittay illustre ainsi la fécondité théorique et l’importance éthique de la reconnaissance de l’expérience personnelle. Il montre également qu’à la condition qu’il s’élabore sur la base d’une telle reconnaissance, le travail théorique peut devenir un travail de care. This paper analyzes the work of Eva Feder Kittay and studies in particular the role played in her philosophical reflection by her experience as a mother of a child with a severe cognitive disability. Kittay's critic of standard theories of justice, her redefinition of moral personhood as well as her reflection on the relationships between normality and the good life all stem from this experience. By taking it into account, Kittay is able to see problems and to raise questions that usually go unnoticed in traditional philosophy. Thus, her work illustrates how theoretically fruitful and how ethically central is the acknowledgement of personal experience. It also shows that philosophical work, when based on this acknowledgment, can become a form of care work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Interactions are at the core of major sociological approaches to work. Some lines of research have accounted for cooperative interactions which include incommensurate perspectives. But in this paper we argue that the notion of interaction needs to be extended to the notion of transaction, deeply rooted in the American pragmatist tradition. The shift from interaction to transaction allows for the study of a wide range of situations lacking mutual intelligibility. The main feature is the coexistence of cooperation and entirely asymmetric perspectives, not just for a transitory moment in the process of exchanging perspectives, but as a stabilized configuration. Such contexts mean coming to terms with long unnoticed but increasingly topical components of work environments. To understand these singular forms of coordination with minimal interactions, we need to take account of the role of digital artifacts, third-party participants, and personal rhythms. This paper draws on three studies conducted in different organizational settings: a telephone traffic control center, a pediatric emergency room, and on-line gaming in the workplace. Where collective activity does not mean mutual intelligibility, the analysis turns to the various forms of life developed in the process of work, the intermittent encounters between commitments that are unaware of one another, and the workers confronted with their multiple spaces of activity

The purpose of this paper is a presentation of ordinary experience of the pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus. By illuminating fundamental moments of the said experience, this analysis attempts to uncover its deeper dynamics, here described by dint of the notion of questionableness, which—as it transpires—stands in some conflict with what can be observed at the level of ordinary ways of its articulations (shaped and spread by public opinion, which very much desires an answer). The experience of the pandemic uncovers the existence of a certain conflict between its more superficial layer, characterizing a social-political dimension of human existence, and its deeper layer, which unfolds at the level of individual life. This conflict constitutes a manifestation of a few-century-long and evermore aggravated divergence of two sorts of experiences: the objectifying scientific-technical and the existential one.
