A lecture on Merleau-Ponty's Phenomenology of Perception, looking specifically at the chapter "The Body as an Object and Mechanistic Physiology" and the importance of habit in his critique of reductivism of empiricist as well as intellectualist's approaches.

Are you aware of whether anyone has synthesized the ideas of Ponty and the empirical evidence of the holographic theory of the universe? It seems he was onto something and was actually ahead of his time

Thank you! Which translation of Phenomenology of Perception would you recommend? The one by Landes or Smith?

Excellent. One tiny correction, if you'll allow me: stimuli is the plural, but the singular is stimulus.
