Drawing connections between Freudian psychoanalysis, Virginia Woolf's criticism and fiction, and Maurice Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology, The Ethics of Immediacy recounts the far-reaching consequences of the modern turn towards a new ethics of immediacy.

During the first half of the 20th century, a profound transformation - an existential revolution - took place in European culture in how human beings conceived of themselves. Inspired by Freud's psychoanalysis, a newfound appreciation for the realm of immediate experience in human life emerged. With Freud himself making a signal contribution to this existential revolution, and with Woolf and Merleau-Ponty taking up Freud's ideas in their own unique ways, all three figures began to regard first-order, spontaneous, direct, unselfconscious, concrete experience of self and world as standing at the heart of what it means to be human.

Jeffrey McCurry describes how this new state of affairs stood in contrast to how immediate experience had been historically dismissed, devalued, repressed, and even negated in the fields of psychology, literature, and philosophy. This experience posed dangers to psychological stability, social order, and philosophical certainty. McCurry examines how Freud's psychoanalytic theory, Woolf's modernist criticism and fiction, and Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology, psychology, literature, and philosophy in turns embraced the risks and dangers of putting immediate experience as the center of humanity, of respecting, understanding, appreciating, and following the lead of immediate, spontaneous, pre-reflective, pre-evaluative, concrete experience in human life.

Great product. Sun protection and hydration
I just discovered this brand a year or two ago and have not been disappointed in their products. This item specifically I can feel my face a lot softer all throughout the day. I bought it for sunscreen so that was just an added bonus. I’ve finished one bottle now and started my second one. I recommend

Beautiful finish, but not for sensitive eyes
It has a very beautiful dewy finish on the face. I wish I could keep using it however it is not good for very sensitive eyes, causes extreme itching and watering to the point where I cannot open my eyes.

Just what we needed
I am in love with this sunscreen. My daughter has very oily skin and she has tried many other susnscreens. All of them cause her skin to break out except this one. She loves putting g it on and even says it’s “kind of satisfying to put on because it disappears instantly”. It’s been working great and she hasn’t been getting sunburnt. I would definitely buy it again!!

Great sun protection for high elevation!
Excellent skin care product for those of us that spend lots of time outdoors in the mountains! My dermatologist recommended this product, and it definitely has been protecting my face while cycling, hiking, kayaking, and just hanging out in the sun!
