Book Description
Challenging and rewarding in equal measure, Phenomenology of Perception is Merleau-Ponty's most famous work. Impressive in both scope and imagination, it uses the example of perception to return the body to the forefront of philosophy for the first time since Plato. Drawing on case studies such as brain-damaged patients from the First World War, Merleau-Ponty brilliantly shows how the body plays a crucial role not only in perception but in speech, sexuality and our relation to others. Perhaps above all, Merleau-Ponty's insights about the embodied mind are a bold and refreshing challenge to the new era of virtual reality and artificial intelligence, as scientists and psychologists discover the centrality of the body to mind and intelligence.
Review
"It is very good to have an English translation of this work. Especially valuable is the preface to the present work where Merleau-Ponty gives his views on phenomenology itself with frequent illusions to Husserl. The chapter on the Cogito is a famous one, and experts may debate whether Merleau-Ponty was more original on the subject of time or on the subject of freedom.." -- Heythrop Journal
