Intellectual Deep Web | Hubert Dreyfus - Merleau-Ponty's Phenomenology of Perception (Part 2) @IntellectualDeepWeb | Uploaded April 2019 | Updated October 2024, 7 hours ago.
With growing interest in the role of the body in perception, and in the related question of the possibility and nature of non-conceptual content, Merleau-Ponty’s classic work, Phenomenology of Perception, has become increasingly relevant. We will read the book in order to understand and evaluate Merleau-Ponty’s arguments against what he calls empiricism (a sort of behaviorism) and intellectualism (cognitivism), as well as his positive account of what he calls motor intentionality — a kind of intentionality without conceptual content that, Merleau-Ponty argues, is the basic way human beings are embedded in the world.
