Work, primary experiences, and accounts

Wolff-Michael Roth

pp. 191-207

Abstract

In my work as a researcher who reads research and as research methodologist who advises others on issues of research method, I can identify a frequent confusion between accounts of experiences and the experiences themselves.1 What we can say is always less than what we have lived. For example, in chapter 2, I deal with methods of investigating perceptual experiences. It should be evident that there is a big difference between saying "I see a cube" and the work of the living-lived body (the pathic flesh) that produces for me what I report to be a cube.
