The Spell of the Sensuous: Perception and Language in a More-Than-Human World
- Author: Abram, David
- Publisher: Vintage
- Binding: Paperback
- Copyright: 1997
- ISBN-13: 9780679776390
- ISBN-10: 0679776397
David Abram draws on sources as diverse as the philosophy of Merleau-Ponty, Balinese shamanism, Apache storytelling, and his own experience as an accomplished sleight-of-hand magician to reveal the subtle dependence of human cognition on the natural environment. He explores the character of perception and excavates the sensual foundations of language, which--even at its most abstract--echoes the calls and cries of the earth. On every page of this lyrical work, Abram weaves his arguments with passion and intellectual daring.
" Long awaited, revolutionary...This book ponders the violent disconnection of the body from the natural world and what this means about how we live and die in it." --Los Angeles Times
