Merleau-Ponty, Phenomenology of Perception, 1: What is Phenomenology? 

There's something about RU-vid lectures where the lower the view count, the better they get! I'm 23 min in and already really enjoy your style of presenting!

This is the best introduction to Merleau-Ponty’s “Phenomenology of Perception” I have seen. Thank you!

I'm a philosophy undergrad tackling this difficult book and I'm glad you made this. Thanks for putting it out here for free you've saved me lots of stress!

I really appreciate this lecture, it made me appreciate Merleau-Ponty. He's very hard to read and the text is dense, but I suppose it was because I was approaching it as just a text. Thank you for this introduction.

I was looking for an explainer in Spanish but your video outdoes all the ones I checked. Thanks you!

Finding your channel made my day! Thank you for your excellent presentation ❤️❤️

I can feel your passion for philosophy when you talked about, for instance, Merleau-Ponty, which I believe makes your videos really stand out in contrast to tons of other similar videos on RU-vid that only treat philosophy as some lifeless "knowledge". Thank you for your videos!

I took a philosophy class in college 30 years ago and came across MP. It’s interesting now to go back and study him. Thanks for this

Thank you so much for this one, the part about detachment of theoretical philosophy from actually studying it in life really spoke to me.

Thank you so much! You are a great professor. I'm glad to have been introduced to Merleau-Ponty in this way. (Amazing philosophy, by the way)

So fascinating! Seems that we can change our experience and expand our perception by our mind's decisions.

Practice, experience, thought. The order.

Jeeeeeze this just blew my mind. You’re also so articulate and easy to understand and sometimes someone else putting it in words as to what I study and I read can really make it solidify as what the hell im doing. Thank you for this intro to merleau ponty, it really really tied a lot together for me.

Thank you for making this philosophy meaningful and accessible.

Flourishing....awakening..in freedom.. freedom is a field with no concept, no opinions, no conclusions which allows you to discover something new about yourselves..

Another brilliant lecture! Thank you 🙏

Brilliant! Thank you John 🙏

Superb lecture.

Awe-inspiring! Thank you

on my way, I have learned how to read a book ,thank you

Great lecture.

Einstein says its imagination that is more than knowledge, his thought experiment created his theory of relativity.

I still don't understand at this point but i hope to see once I get to the next topics

How do you discern description from explanation or analysis?

I´m very interested in the phenomenology. Can I re-upload your lectures on Mearleau Ponty?

I need my hands to do this when I talk
