The article presents a social phenomenology of naturalism. Starting from Stefan Bargheer’s Moral entanglements (2018), it argues that to understand the transformations of naturalist practices, we have to focus both on the shifting typifications of activity and their organizational moorings, but also on the experiential affordances of practice. Drawing on the work of Schutz and Merleau-Ponty, I focus on the transformation of animals from background into figure, the peculiar province of meaning that naturalist practice entails, as well as the experience of “play” that Bargheer highlights. Doing so, I argue that the affordances of experience are a constitutive aspect of any historical account of practice: that a phenomenological approach is crucial not only for the micro-sociology of interaction and experience, but for understanding larger historical processes and transformations.

这篇文章介绍了自然主义的社会现象学。从 Stefan Bargheer 的道德纠葛开始 (2018)，它认为要理解自然主义实践的转变，我们必须既关注活动的变化类型及其组织系泊，也关注实践的经验可供性。借鉴 Schutz 和 Merleau-Ponty 的作品，我关注动物从背景到形象的转变，自然主义实践所需要的特殊意义领域，以及 Bargheer 强调的“游戏”体验。这样做，我认为经验的可供性是任何历史实践说明的构成方面：现象学方法不仅对于互动和经验的微观社会学至关重要，而且对于理解更大的历史过程和转变也是至关重要的。
