  • Burke Origin of Our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful
    Nov 20 2024

    A Philosophical Inquiry into the Origin of Our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful by Edmund Burke explores the psychological and physiological basis of our perceptions of beauty and sublimity. Burke argues that beauty is associated with qualities that induce relaxation and pleasure in the senses, such as smoothness, smallness, and gradual variation. In contrast, he asserts that sublimity arises from experiences of pain, danger, and awe, often connected to ideas of power, vastness, and obscurity. Burke's work examines how these aesthetic categories are rooted in our sensory experiences and the ways in which they influence our emotional responses.

  • Maurice Merleau-Ponty Phenomenology of Perception
    Nov 20 2024

    Phenomenology of Perception by Maurice Merleau-Ponty is a significant work in the phenomenological tradition that challenges the Cartesian mind-body dualism. Merleau-Ponty argues that perception is not a passive reception of sensory information by a detached mind, but rather a dynamic interaction between the embodied subject and the world. By exploring the role of our lived body, intentional structures, and the phenomenal field, Merleau-Ponty critiques classical theories of perception and offers a new understanding of consciousness as embodied and perspectival. Stay tuned and subscribe on Apple Podcasts for an exclusive season diving deeper into the works of Merleau-Ponty
