Dr. Morley’s  research interests are in the application of Existential-Phenomenology to imagination, psychopathology, human development, and religious experience.  He is particularly interested in the philosophical psychology inherent in the thought of Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger, Jean-Paul Sartre, and especially Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s (1908-1961) existential ontology of embodied experience. Recently he has been applying Merleau-Ponty’s thought to a phenomenological understanding of the practice of classical Indian Yoga.
