- Title
Depth Experience and Moral-Political Reflection.
- Authors
White, Stephen K.
- Abstract
How should inquiry into ethical-political life come to terms with "depth experience"? I mean by this extraordinary experience that breaks into the familiar frames of meaning and reasoning that undergird everyday life, bringing some sort of transformation of commitments or identity. I speculate broadly about such experience, expanding the focus beyond theistic experiences, such as being "born-again." When one does this, depth experience need not be thought, as it often is, anathema to political theory. I show rather that it can be cultivated so as to animate an admirable "bearing" on the part of citizens of affluent, late-modern societies.
