Description
Maurice Merleau-Ponty's Phenomenology of Perception is a landmark work of twentieth-century thought that challenges prevailing views of existentialism and phenomenology. This new translation, the first in over fifty years, makes Merleau-Ponty's ideas available to a new generation of readers. Merleau-Ponty's work builds on the phenomenological tradition of Husserl, Heidegger, and Sartre, but he brings a distinctive perspective that focuses on the lived body and its relationship to the world. He argues that the body is not just a biological or physical unit, but a fundamental aspect of our experience and situation. This book explores a range of fascinating cases, including phantom limb syndrome, synaesthesia, and hallucination, to illustrate Merleau-Ponty's ideas. A new translation of this influential work includes helpful features such as a comprehensive introduction, notes on key terms, and an extensive index, making it an ideal resource for readers interested in philosophy, psychology, and cognitive science.
