This is a unique study, contuining the work of Merleau-Ponty and
Heidegger, and using the techniques of phenomenology against the
prevailing nihilism of our culture. It expands our understanding of
the human potential for spiritual self-realization by interpreting
it as the developing of a bodily-felt awareness informing our
gestures and movements. The author argues that a psychological
focus on our experience of well-being and pathology as embodied
beings contributes significantly to a historically relevant
critique of ideology. It also provides an essential touchstone in
experience for a fruitful individual and collective response to the
danger of nihilism. Dr Levin draws on Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology
to clarify Heidegger's analytic of human beings through an
interpretation that focuses on our experience of being embodied. He
reconstructs in modern terms the wisdom implicit in western and
semitic forms of religion and philosophy, considering the work of
Freud, Jung, Focault and Neitzsche, as well as that of American
educational philosophers, including Dewey. In particular, he draws
on the psychology of Freud and Jung to clarify our historical
experience of gesture and movement and to bring to light its
potential in the fulfilment of Selfhood. Throughout the book, the
pathologies of the ego and its journey into Selfhood are considered
in relation to the conditons of technology and the powers of
nihilism.
