Reading Eye and Mind | Alexandria
Read Eye and Mind by Maurice Merleau-Ponty. Flipping perception inside out, Merleau-Ponty's masterwork reveals how art unlocks the mystery of human consciousness. By showing that vision isn't passive but a creative act, he proves we don't just see the world—we help shape it. His radical insight that painters "lend their bodies" to the world still transforms how we grasp reality and ourselves.
