”We hardly ever experience our own bodies as objects with a separate existence from our minds. We feel sensations in our bodies, and we can move them from the inside at will. What is more, all our perceptions are related to our body in one way or another. This gives us our perspective on objects. Things look large or small, near or far, usable or unusable relative to the shape, size, location, and abilities of our bodies. When we move at will, we don’t experience an inner mental world on one side of us and an outer material world on the other. In contrast to the objective body, Merleau-Ponty calls this phenomenological (first-person, experiential, lived) conception of the body the`phenomenal body.´”

Quoted from ”Tony Iommi’s Hand of Doom — From Plastic Fingertips to Creative Freedom”, an essay by Ken Pepper, in”Black Sabbath & Philosophy — Mastering Reality”, an anthology edited by William Irwin.
