The Sense of Space
نویسندگان
چکیده
This is a complex and very well detailed book about our sense of space: what it is, how it develops, where it comes from, what it means to have it. Morris refers to experiences of space in everyday life, as well as scientific and philosophical literature, to elucidate the problem of the sense of space. He starts with a critique of the traditional approaches to space, then proposes his model, mainly centred on the notion of “body schema”, and finally analyzes two of the principal dimensions of space: depth and orientation. I will begin by summarizing what I consider to be the main topics of his book and then deal with the aspects that are important for studies on the conscious experience of space, as well as, more in general, for studies on consciousness.
