Place And Experience A Philosophical Topography - Jeff Malpas

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.
