La phénoménologie de la perception

*La Phénoménologie de la Perception*, by Maurice Merleau-Ponty, explores how we experience the world through our senses. It argues that perception isn’t just passive reception of information but an active process rooted in our body’s engagement with our environment. Our senses, motor skills, and bodily presence shape our understanding of objects and reality. Merleau-Ponty emphasizes that perception is subjective and embodied—our body filters and influences how we see, feel, and interpret the world around us, highlighting the close connection between mind, body, and environment in shaping human experience.
