Reviews

'The phenomenological features of Merleau-Ponty's notion of embodiment have today received extensive support by contemporary biological and neuroscientific research. Hale's book, which highlights and distills the pivotal insights of the French philosopher, is essential reading for every architect who might ponder how people actually perceive their designed environments.' - Harry Francis Mallgrave, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, Illinois Institute of Technology, USA
