About the book

Description

Merleau-Ponty reflects on what it means to see and to paint, presenting vision as the activity of an embodied being already immersed in the world. Engaging with painters’ experience, he argues that art makes perceptible dimensions of reality that ordinary description can miss. Eye and Mind is a short essay often published within larger anthologies.
