Merleau-Ponty - Phenomenology

Catalog description

Maurice Merleau-Ponty?s Phenomenology of Perception (1945) is a classic work of existential phenomenology. It covers such topics as perception and judgment, space and time, embodiment and sexuality, freedom, selfhood, and intersubjectivity. Merleau-Ponty?s interpretation of these topics overflows with original ideas on every page. Among his many innovations is his discussion of the experiences of people who have suffered brain injuries. At the end of the course, we may introduce topics from Merleau-Ponty?s aesthetic and political works.
