Body And World by Samuel Todes
A phenomenological account of how our embodied, goal-directed movement discloses the world, arguing that perception, action and spatial understanding are rooted in the living body rather than in a detached mind or objectified space; the book develops the idea of motor intentionality and shows how skillful, prereflective coping and self-moving activity constitute a practical, lived world that differs from objective, scientific space, thereby challenging Cartesian mind–body dualism and illuminating how meaning, possibility and worldhood arise through bodily engagement.
