Abstract

This chapter proposes a novel approach to an ecological conception of experience and society. This approach is based on Dewey’s and Bentley’s conception of “trans-action”. Dewey’s use of this concept aims at explaining why environment and organism are internal to each other, and what kind of “agency of doing” the environment represents. The paper first describes Dewey’s biological-cultural conception of experience, and then examines some of the difficulties associated with it. Finally, it considers how we could take up such a conception in the social sciences.
