The Body in the Phenomenology of Perception

  • Rachel Elliott

摘要

This chapter offers a close reading of the sections in the Phenomenology of Perception where Merleau-Ponty develops the concept of the habit body through analyzing case studies in neuropathology. I raise concerns about this approach to theorizing structures of consciousness and suggest that attending to lived experience in the context of art offers a way of accessing dimensions of experience hidden in everyday life, such as the habit body.
