Fenomenologia percepcji

Wprowadzenie

Merleau-Ponty submitted the book as his main doctoral thesis; it appeared in Paris in 1945. Its preface describes phenomenology as a method that is never completed: the most important lesson of the reduction is that a complete reduction is impossible. Against both empiricism and intellectualism, the book analyses perception as the work of a living body. It draws heavily on psychology and neurology, especially on Schneider, a brain-injured patient studied by Gelb and Goldstein who could perform habitual movements but not abstract ones, and on the phantom limb. Further chapters treat sexuality, speech, space, other people, time and freedom. The book is a main source for today’s theories of embodied cognition.
