A Body of Knowledge: The Role of Human Experience and the Living Body in Knowing
Journal of Humanistic Psychology December 2, 2020 Magali Ollagnier-Beldame 2 citations
Human experience and the living body are often overlooked as sources of knowledge in psychology and cognitive science, despite their potential richness. This work argues that a first-person epistemology—along with precise methods for studying subjective experience—is necessary to genuinely investigate experiential knowledge. The proposal carries epistemological, ethical, and societal implications, suggesting that attending to experience can deepen understanding and inform broader goals beyond academia.
