Some Observations on the Problem of Sharing Experiences: Proust’s A la recherche du temps perdu.

Juan S. Gomez-Jeria

The problem of exchanging information about some unusual experiences is commented. The well-known internal experience of Proust and his madeleine is compared with an internal experience of the author. This comparison serves as a basis to suggest that some, but not all Homo sapiens sapiens may have some analogous but not equal internal experiences. The communication of internal experiences seems to be a very complicated problem in some disciplines. Other internal experiences are presented and discussed. The question of the biological value of some experiences is mentioned but no answer is provided.
