Merleau-Ponty’s Phenomenology of Perception (book)

Merleau-Ponty’s *Phenomenology of Perception* explores how our perception of the world is rooted in our embodied experience. He argues that our bodies are not separate from our consciousness but are integral to how we perceive and understand reality. Through our senses and movements, we engage with our environment directly, rather than just interpreting abstract ideas. This perspective emphasizes that perception is rooted in our lived experience—how we feel, move, and interact—highlighting the mind and body as interconnected in shaping our understanding of the world around us.
