The Reality of Experience
“Even facts become fiction without adequate ways of seeing ‘the facts’.
We do not need theories so much as the experience that is the source of the theory.
We are not satisfied with faith, in the sense of an implausible hypothesis irrationally held: we demand to experience the ‘evidence’.
We can see other people’s behaviour, but not their experience”.
– R D Laing,
The Politics of Experience.
