Glossary Bibliography Index
Jeff Malpas is Distinguished Professor at the University of Tasmania, Australia. He is the author or editor of twenty-five books and has published over 150 scholarly articles on topics in philosophy, art, architecture, and geography.
"The new edition of this pioneering book remains at the forefront
of philosophical engagements with place and space. Profound and
challenging, as well as engagingly written, it moves seamlessly
across registers - from Proust and Wordsworth to taxi driver
knowledge, from Heidegger to analytic philosophy. This is a
fundamental work for philosophers, geographers and all those
concerned with the question of human experience." - Stuart Elden,
University of Warwick, UK and Monash University, Australia"This
expanded and revised edition of Place and Experience signifies the
enduring importance of Malpas’s path-breaking contributions to
place and space studies. Eminently readable, full of compelling and
illustrative examples, and authoritatively argued, the book
masterfully articulates the deep integration of place to human
experience." - Janet Donohoe, University of West Georgia, USA"This
important and now classic book is a crucial contribution to our
understanding of the deep connections between place and all things
human. Transcending disciplinary boundaries, Place and Experience
offers valuable lessons for architects, urban and environmental
designers, and all those willing to challenge the seeming
inevitability of homogeneous space and placelessness brought about
by our technological civilization." - Alberto Pérez-Gómez, McGill
University, Canada"Ever since Plato, an abiding methodological
conceit of philosophy has been to separate conceptual questions
from empirical conceptions. Jeff Malpas challenges this conceit. In
drawing on literature, anthropology, psychology, and the history of
science, as well as philosophy, he opens up new paths and
possibilities for thinking seriously about embodied human being in
the world and its prospects in difficult times." - Richard
Eldridge, Swarthmore College, USA"This is a book filled with
provocative ideas about agency, locality, self, spatiality, past
and person. It also established Jeff Malpas as a pre-eminent
philosopher of place. If you want to understand the complex unity
of place, there is no better book with which to begin." - Edward
Relph, University of Toronto, Canada"Jeff Malpas’s beautiful work
about place has fed the architecture of my own creative work for
many years now. This splendid new edition of his classic text spans
from the past of our memories to the future we already live in -
thanks to globalization and that thing we call "connectedness" -
urging us to more properly locate our thoughts, our actions and our
experiences so that we might locate, more entirely, ourselves. A
nourishing, inspiring and important book." - Ashley Hay, author of
