2013 Reprint of 1951 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. "Creative Experience" first published in 1924, reflected Mary Parker Follett's growing interest in the problems of industrial relations and the realm of management. She has the same commitment to democracy and encounter, but the focus is now on, as the title suggests, the creative use of experience. In this, her approach was basically that of a pragmatist, though she emphasized-and placed higher value on-the creative rather than the verifying aspects of experience. Follett's is a philosophy of engagement and encounter. Through thinking about our experiences, questioning their meaning and truth and looking to the people we are, it is possible to learn. But there can be dangers in this process if approached narrowly.
