Return to Space - The Understanding of Space After the End of History

Place is not merely a ground we stand on or a stage that surrounds our daily lives. It is the deep fabric of human experiences of remembering, orienting, settling, and making a home.

In Getting Back into Place, Edward S. Casey explores the "displaced" individual of the modern world, the lost sense of place, and the forgotten sources of spatial memory. From the call of the wild to the freedom of walking, from the reflexive movement of travel to the paradoxes of making a home and returning home, Casey examines humanity's multi-layered relationship with place through a philosophical, phenomenological, and literary lens.

According to him, place is not just a set of coordinates; it is a possibility that determines the direction of our existence, shapes our memory, positions our body where it belongs in the universe, and gives meaning to our lives.

This work, with rich references extending from Heidegger to Bachelard, from Thoreau to the poet Bashō, from bell hooks to Joyce, invites its readers to remember the lost "being-in-place" feeling of modern humanity.

Casey's work offers a new perspective not only to those interested in philosophy but also to those involved in literature, architecture, psychology, cultural studies, and art.

Getting Back into Place invites us to find our place again in areas that the modern world is rapidly blurring, and to listen to the memory of place.
