The first edition of Place and Experience established Jeff Malpas
as one of the leading philosophers and thinkers of place and space
and provided a creative and refreshing alternative to prevailing
post-structuralist and postmodern theories of place. It is a
foundational and ground-breaking book in its attempt to lay out a
sustained and rigorous account of place and its significance. The
main argument of Place and Experience has three strands: first,
that human being is inextricably bound to place; second, that place
encompasses subjectivity and objectivity, being reducible to
neither but foundational to both; and third that place, which is
distinct from, but also related to space and time, is
methodologically and ontologically fundamental. The development of
this argument involves considerations concerning the nature of
place and its relation to space and time; the character of that
mode of philosophical investigation that is oriented to place and
that is referred to as 'philosophical topography'; the nature of
subjectivity and objectivity as inter-related concepts that also
connect with intersubjectivity; and the way place is tied to
memory, identity, and the self. Malpas draws on a rich array of
writers and philosophers, including Wordsworth, Kant, Proust,
Heidegger and Donald Davidson. This second edition is revised
throughout, including a new chapter on place and technological
modernity, especially the seeming loss of place in the contemporary
world, and a new Foreword by Edward Casey. It also includes a new
set of additional features, such as illustrations, annotated
further reading, and a glossary, which make this second edition
more useful to teachers and students alike.
