Experiential Sociology

Abstract

Sociology has been plagued by a series of dualisms and dichotomies that seriously diminish its relevance. There is the opposition of theoretical and empirical sociology. There is the question of the link between reality and thought accordingly. The extent to which thought and discourses can properly reproduce reality, or the claims about the autonomy. The aim of this article is to question the need for artificial dichotomies, and to offer a solution to the Gordian knot by proposing an approach that would capture social reality exactly in the middle, instead of breaking it into two halves and then trying desperately to put them together.
