"Edward Casey has written a brilliant, elegant, and meticulously thorough analysis of the 'hidden history of place' . . . destined to become the standard reference for all those interested in rethinking space, place, location, and containment."--Elizabeth Grosz, author of "Volatile Bodies: Toward a Corporeal Feminism" "The problem of 'place' and 'space' is a crucial one and its lineage in western philosophy has never been traced with such commanding clarity as in Edward Casey's work. Encyclopedic in range, it is also a splendidly informative book, full of insights and surprises."--Anders Stephanson, Columbia University "[This book's] historical scope is breathtaking; its historical scholarship is prodigious."--David M. Levin, editor of "Modernity and the Hegemony of Vision" "Focusing on the body as a route to recovering a sense of place . . . this book enables us to 'join' the supposed poles of realism and idealism, objectivity and subjectivity, sociality and individuality. Scholars will find Casey's work highly stimulating and groundbreaking in many ways."--Lawrence Hatab, author of "Myth and Philosophy"
