“…phenomenology and its offspring existentialism together provide a stream of philosophy in which various thinkers have emphasised the role our embodiment plays, and it can be argued that the past year has provided ample experiential evidence they’re right. So a comparison between the thinking of prominent practitioners Martin Heidegger, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Maurice Merleau-Ponty, may not only help us understand why we have felt so bereft at having to live our lives through screens, but also provide us with insight into why online life is so different from real life, and even explain some of the more toxic aspects of life lived through the social media lens…”
