(1989) Merleau-ponty's phenomenology of perception, Dordrecht, Springer.
In the previous chapter, Merleau-Ponty overturned the traditional conception of objectivity by bringing to our attention the phenomenal body as "a natural self" and as "the subject of perception". We have seen that the experience of the body itself is inseparably the outlining and perceiving of a certain sort of world in which each bodily sense has a spatial realm which overlaps, but does not coincide, with the others. In this chapter, Merleau-Ponty examines more closely the meaning of such spatial realms which form a whole human, or cultural, world around a sensible core.
