About the book

Description

Eye and Mind (1961) is a dense essay in which Merleau-Ponty reflects on the act of seeing and painting, starting from Cezanne, showing how perception is rooted in the living body. One of the most beautiful texts in the phenomenology of art. (Published in the collection ‘The Primacy of Perception.’)
