Phenomenology and Psychopathology (2010, background): “This operative intentionality of the body (Merleau-Ponty 1945) is based on the “passive syntheses”4 of sensory-motor functioning that link elements of perceptions and movements into higher-order schemas or Gestalten, thus forming the background texture of the field of experience.”
Moving a Rubber Hand that Feels Like Your Own: A Dissociation of Ownership and Agency (2012, positive): “It has been argued in various fields, such as psychology, philosophy and cognitive science, that these particular experiences of one’s own body are of critical importance to the conscious experience of the self (Merlau-Ponty, 1945; Chiel and Beer, 1997; Gallagher, 2000, 2005; Churchland, 2002; Grazi”
Empathy, Embodiment and Interpersonal Understanding: From Lipps to Schutz (2010, neutral): “In fact, as Merleau-Ponty would later point out, our relation to others is deeper than any specific uncertainty we might have regarding them (Merleau-Ponty 1945, 415).”
