Abstract
Abstract As a philosopher deeply inffuenced by phenomenology and by feminist consciousness-raising activism, personal experience plays a very important role in Iris Young’s feminist and democratic thinking. Even so, I find that reading her very personal narratives makes me uncomfortable. In this essay, I use this discomfort as an occasion to think more deeply about what role experience plays in her philosophizing.
