Nonfiction. Philosophy. Personal Transformation. Inspiration. Spirituality. Self-Help. Yoga for the Mind is Slow Thought for a Fast Life. We are constituted to think and reflect, to query and question, to seek answers and not stop at the answers we find, pushing further and further on our quest for meaning and insight into the big and the small, into first things and last. In other words, we are philosophical creatures. How, then, can we achieve more satisfying, rich, creative, and fulfilled lives as creatures of thought and reflection, as fundamentally philosophical beings? This question lies at the heart of YOGA FOR THE MIND--an intensely fruitful and enriching philosophical supplement to the daily diet of existence.

Wittgenstein and Merleau-Ponty have been viewed as the figure heads of the opposing schools of analytical philosophy and phenomenology, respectively. Beginning her topological inquiry from the subject's situatedness in intersubjective space, Kathrin Stengel revisits such central topics in modern philosophy as the question of language and the problem of perception. In juxtaposing Wittgenstein's philosophy of language and Merleau-Ponty's theory of perception, Stengel discloses striking points of intersection and resemblance between the two putatively diverging approaches, with a view to elaborating a comprehensive theory of vision. This book revolutionizes the debate between analytical and continental philosophy.
