"I live in company with a body, a silent companion, exacting and eternal. "- Eugene Delacroix
(1798-1863 French Romantic painter)Into the optical effects of colour among other things which had a profound effect on the Impressionists.
I'm not enamoured of his work however I do like the quote. Again sense of split , of duality between mind and body, rational and physical.

Merleau-Ponty's ideas of chiasm: of the invisible and the visible twining. Ponty broke with the established philosophical convention that consciousness is the only originator of knowledge. Instead he prioritised the body as the immediate and principal way of understanding our environment.
Does this include the thinking and foreknowledge that has already occurred while we learn about the world?
