This essay intends, through the discussion of the so-called subject-object intentionality, to discuss the meaning of the sense of corporeality of the living body, which attempts to draw upon and explore the existential space of Humanistic Geography and Yi-fu Tuan’s Topophilia. Further, to discuss the delicate relationship between the sense of corporeality of the living body and the existential space or the concept of Topophilia, it is vital to draw upon the philosophy of language in Hermeneutic Phenomenological Psychology. Thus, I develop my point of view using the concept of language from the philosophy of Hermeneutic Phenomenological Psychology, in the hope of instigating further discussion about the ideology of Topophilia as well as the potential development of place research.
Keywords: Hermeneutic Phenomenological Psychology, Humanistic Geography, Phenomenological Geography, Topophilia, Yi-fu Tuan
