More than sixty years ago, Simone de Beauvoir identified the
importance of Maurice Merleau-Ponty's writings to feminist theory.
His exploration of the relationship between the body and the space
it inhabits is key to modern phenomenological thinking. But there
has been little agreement on how Merleau-Ponty's ideas ultimately
have an impact on feminist philosophy. Does his emphasis on
physical subjectivity lend a certain agency to all bodies,
regardless of sex? Or do Merleau-Ponty's specific descriptions of
physical experience betray an intrinsic bias toward a male
heterosexual point of view? The essays presented here by Olkowski
and Weiss attempt to situate Merleau-Ponty in the larger context of
feminist theory, while impartially evaluating his contributions,
both positive and negative, to that theory.
In addition to the editors, the contributors are Jorella
Andrews, David Brubaker, Judith Butler, Laura Doyle, Helen
Fielding, Vicki Kirby, Sonia Kruks, Ann Murphy, Johanna Oksala, and
Beata Stawarska.
