“Sei l'unica persona con cui mi piace avere discussioni. Quasi tutti passano dai fatti alla teoria, e non dalla teoria ai fatti. Le persone sono incapaci di uscire dall'insieme dei concetti ammessi e continuano a girarci introrno in modo grottesco.”
da una lettera a Erwin Schrödinger

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. This has led some people to insist that psychology has nothing to do with the other person"s experience, but only with his behaviour.
The other person"s behaviour is an experience of mine. My behaviour is an experience of the other. The task of social phenomenology is to relate my experience of the other"s behaviour to the other"s experience of my behaviour. Its study is the relation between experience and experience: its true field is inter-experience.
