We grasp external space through our bodily situation. A "corporeal or postural schema" gives us at every moment a global, practical and implicit notion, of the relation between our bodies and things, of our hold on them. A system of possible movements, or "motor projects," radiates from us to our environment. Our body is not in space like things; it inhabits space or hunts space (Merleau Ponty 1964:5)
