MARTIN JAY
discusses SONGS OF EXPERIENCE: Modern American and European Variations on a Universal Theme. SONGS OF EXPERIENCE is a remarkable history of Western ideas about the nature of human experience written by one of our best-known intellectual historians. With sweeping reach and lucid comparative analysis, Martin Jay explores Western discourse from the sixteenth century to the present, asking why the concept of experience has been such a magnet for controversy. As he explores the manifold contexts for understanding experience - epistemological, religious, aesthetic, political, and historical - Jay engages an exceptionally broad range of European and American traditions and thinkers from the American pragmatists and British Marxist humanists to the Frankfurt School and the French poststructuralists, delving into the thought of individual philosophers as well, including Montaigne, Bacon, Locke, Hume and Kant, Oakeshott, Collingwood, and Ankersmit. Provocative, engaging, erudite, this key work will be an essential source for anyone who joins the ongoing debate about the material, linguistic, cultural, and theoretical meaning of "experience" in modern cultures. Martin Jay is Sidney Hellmen Ehrman Professor of History at UC Berkeley. 7:30 PM at Telegraph Avenue
