Abstract
In this chapter, Banfield provides a focused account of Eugene Gendlin’s philosophy, and addresses a core philosophical concern within non-representational geography: human subjectivity. Janet explains Gendlin’s core concepts and complex terminology (e.g. implying, occurring, interaffecting) and illustrates them in the context of empirical data from geographical research into artistic spatial experiences. She addresses specific themes of geographical interest—space, time and subjectivity—and makes a valuable intervention to contemporary debates within non-representational geography concerning the value of, need and capacity for a degree of humanism despite the anti-essentialist nature of non-representational thinking, by outlining how Eugene Gendlin’s philosophy accommodates a sense of a personal past, the future and personal agency.
