There is never a time when we don't have experiences that are set in/about/ related to a place Explanation: The "are" means, in this context, that we always have, that we do not exist without... These are reviews of Casey's 1998 book on place. "What exactly is this precious thing called 'Place,' which we feel we must defend against the forces of global commodification? This book sets out to answer the question. . . . A thorough and timely investigation."—Colin Davies, Architectural Review "Casey’s exemplary rigor and clarity should have an impact on the rediscovery of the problem of place and space and the recognition of the importance of place for contemporary philosophy."—Pascal Massie, The Review of Metaphysics "Encyclopedic. Insightful. Wonderfully readable. And just downright awesome."—Miles Richardson, American Anthropologist "A story masterfully told and well worth reading."—Ralph Ellis, Journal of Phenomenological Psychology "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 Reference: http://www.ucpress.edu/book.php?isbn=9780520216495 |

we're always experiencing external sensory stmuli Explanation: Our experiences take their elements from the outer world in our waking or sleeping states, regardless of any wishes on behalf of our subjective. The objective world never stops influencing us, its elements are emplaced (hidden from view, but they're at work), we may look but not see. |
