"Sensation"

Monika Langer

pp. 3-5

The four chapters comprising the "Introduction" of the Phenomenology of Perception are designed to provide a preliminary sketch of classical approaches to perception which will subsequently be examined in detail. In these introductory chapters Merleau-Ponty indicates why he considers the classical approaches prejudiced and why he deemed it necessary to go back to our actual experience. He also attempts to forestall possible misunderstandings regarding the nature of his own inquiry.
