Bringing to light the essential philosophical role of Marxism
within Merleau-Ponty's reinterpretation of transcendental
phenomenology, this book shows that the realization of this project
hinges methodologically upon a renewed conception of the
proletariat qua universal class-specifically, that it rests upon a
humanist myth of incarnation which, substantiated by
Merleau-Ponty's notion of 'heroism', locates an objective
historical purposiveness in the habituated organism of the modern
subject. Foregrounding the phenomenological priority of history
over corporeality in this way, Smyth's analysis recovers the
'militant' character of Merleau-Ponty's existential phenomenology.
It thus sheds critical new light on his early thought, and
challenges some of the main parameters of existing scholarship by
disclosing the intrinsic normativity of his basic methodological
commitments.
