The Child as Natural Phenomenologist summarizes Merleau-Ponty's work in child psychology, shows its relationship to his philosophical work, and argues for its continued relevance in contemporary theory and practice. \u003cbr\u003e ​ \u003cbr\u003e Welsh demonstrates Merleau-Ponty's unique conception of the child's 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 Merleau-Ponty's ideas about human psychology remain relevant in today's growing field of child studies and that they provide important insights for philosophers, sociologists, and psychologists to better understand the human condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Talia Welsh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810128802\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810128804\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/31\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.60d","brand":"Talia Welsh","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43980578259199,"sku":"9780810128804","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7e28ba0d-1ebe-4e66-b097-314e6df703fb.jpg?v=1683250699","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-child-as-natural-phenomenologist-talia-welsh-9780810128804","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
