Drawing connections between Freudian psychoanalysis, Virginia Woolf's criticism and fiction, and Maurice Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology, The Ethics of Immediacy recounts the far-reaching consequences of the modern turn towards a new ethics of immediacy.

During the first half of the 20th century, a profound transformation - an existential revolution - took place in European culture in how human beings conceived of themselves. Inspired by Freud's psychoanalysis, a newfound appreciation for the realm of immediate experience in human life emerged. With Freud himself making a signal contribution to this existential revolution, and with Woolf and Merleau-Ponty taking up Freud's ideas in their own unique ways, all three figures began to regard first-order, spontaneous, direct, unselfconscious, concrete experience of self and world as standing at the heart of what it means to be human.

Jeffrey McCurry describes how this new state of affairs stood in contrast to how immediate experience had been historically dismissed, devalued, repressed, and even negated in the fields of psychology, literature, and philosophy. This experience posed dangers to psychological stability, social order, and philosophical certainty. McCurry examines how Freud's psychoanalytic theory, Woolf's modernist criticism and fiction, and Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology, psychology, literature, and philosophy in turns embraced the risks and dangers of putting immediate experience as the center of humanity, of respecting, understanding, appreciating, and following the lead of immediate, spontaneous, pre-reflective, pre-evaluative, concrete experience in human life.

Only lasted a couple of weeks.
Model: 2014-2018 Forte
Was nice but after the first day, it would start to loosen and my phone would slide down. After a couple of weeks, it fell off from the car completely. It was a birthday gift so pretty disappointed.

Will not stay attached
Model: 2014-2018 Forte
I used rubbing alcohol to help it say attached. Unfortunately would not stay attached so useless. I thought of getting Velcro or some other type of product to secure it, but why should I have to work at getting it to work? I was never able to see how my phone would work as it never stayed attached

Doesn't fit 2022 forte
Model: 2019-2024 Forte
Didn't fit my 2022 kia forte. Had to cut the top of the bracket off so it could snap into place. With a little cutting and grinding I made it work.
