Review "This book is an informative, valuable and thoughtprovoking contribution to the MerleauPontys interdisciplinary work on child psychology. Scholarly and comprehensive . . . this present volume deserves to be welcomed and studied carefully by students and scholars in embodiment theory, Gestalt psychology, phenomenology, psychoanalysis, and by anyone interested in the philosophical relevance of early childhood for the constitution of an individuals subjectivity."Horizon Product Description Maurice MerleauPonty (19081961) is well known for his work in phenomenology, but his lectures in child psychology and pedagogy have received little attention, probably because Talia Welsh translated the lectures in their entirety only in 2010. The Child as Natural Phenomenologist summarizes MerleauPontys work in child psychology, shows its relationship to his philosophical work, and argues for its continued relevance in contemporary theory and practice. Welsh demonstrates MerleauPontys unique conception of the childs development as inherently organized, meaningful, and engaged with the world, contrary to views that see the child as largely internally preoccupied and driven by instinctual demands. Welsh finds that MerleauPontys ideas about human psychology remain relevant in todays growing field of child studies and that they provide important insights for philosophers, sociologists, and psychologists to better understand the human condition. About the Author TALIA WELSH is a University of Chattanooga Foundation associate professor of philosophy at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.
