Phenomenological Perspectives on Shame

Focusing on the philosophy of embodiment, this book explores the complex phenomenon of shame through the lens of Maurice Merleau-Ponty's ideas. While Merleau-Ponty only briefly addressed shame, his phenomenology and ontology offer valuable insights. The text also connects his work to contemporary thinkers in the analytic tradition, highlighting the relevance and implications of his philosophy in understanding shame's intricacies.
