Zusammenfassung:"The essays in this book analyze the concept of the "inhuman gaze", as conceptualized by Merleau-Ponty, from a variety of different philosophical and theoretical perspectives, including phenomenology, philosophy of mind, cognitive psychology, psychiatry, and psychopathology. The underlying motivation of the contributions is to question perceptions of "the human", and how this designation can be used to underwrite concepts of exclusion, denigration, dehumanization and demonization. The variety of perspectives featured across the volume speak to relevance of the phenomenological and psychological character of perceiving others as human or inhuman, in tandem with its expression in various social phenomena. The essays respond to pressing questions related to this phenomenon, including but not limited to: How is an inhuman gaze achieved and at what cost? How might the emerging insights of the role of perception into our interdependencies and essential sociality from various domains challenge not only theoretical frameworks, but also the practices and institutions of science, medicine, psychiatry and justice? What can we learn from atypical social cognition, psychopathology and animal cognition? Perception and the Inhuman Gaze will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in phenomenology, philosophy of mind, philosophy of psychology, philosophy of psychiatry, and social cognition."-
