Desire and Distance - Introduction to a Phenomenology of Perception

Zusatztext "As an attempt to grasp the specificity of the phenomenon as it comes to be, that of the world within which it appears, and that of the subject to whom it becomes apparent, Desire and Distance is an ambitious, dense, rigorously argued work of philosophy in the phenomenological tradition, certainly amongst the most original of recent years." Informationen zum Autor Renaud Barbaras is Professor of Contemporary Philosophy at the University of Paris-Sorbonne. Klappentext "Desire and Distance is based on recent research and presents new ideas on the problem of perception--ideas that are quite enticing. Barbaras is the world's leading Merleau-Ponty scholar, but what makes this book remarkable and philosophically important is that Barbaras distances himself from Merleau-Ponty and develops his own set of concepts with a high level of originality. In my opinion, Barbaras's book is remarkable." --Leonard Lawlor, University of Memphis Zusammenfassung Desire and Distance constitutes an important new departure in contemporary phenomenological thought - a rethinking and critique of basic philosophical positions concerning the concept of perception presented by Husserl and Merleau-Ponty - though it departs in significant and original ways from their work.
