(1973) Experience and reason, Den Haag, Nijhoff.
The twin concepts of "experience" and "reason" are the most deceitful in the long history of philosophy and there are theories based on them which represent extreme forms of empiricism and rationalism. The rationalism is generally contrasted with empiricism and this contrast depends on the opposition between experience and reason. These problems are as old as the life of philosophy and philosophers have always struggled hard to overcome the traditional opposition between these two concepts. All these attempts ended more or less in either surrendering experience to reason or reason to experience with the unavoidable consequence that the gulf between these two theories could not be bridged. The present work thematizes this age-old problem from anew and hopes to overcome the opposition by a critical but sympathetic exposition, interpretation and analysis of the phenomenology of Hussel.
