Description
The essays in this book analyze the concept of the inhuman gaze, as conceptualized by Merleau-Ponty, from a variety of different perspectives, including phenomenology, philosophy of mind, cognitive psychology, psychiatry, and psychopathology.
"This volume brings together diverse areas of philosophical and interdisciplinary research around the richly ambiguous theme of ‘the inhuman gaze,’ which raises fruitful questions concerning the status of the transcendental subject in phenomenology, the nature of embodiment and perception, our understanding of psychopathology, the meaning of objectivity, and our ethical relationships to others like and unlike ourselves. It is a timely and exciting volume of essays with both a compelling focus and an impressive scope." – Laura McMahon, Eastern Michigan University, USA
